Pecan Pie Overnight Oats
Pecan Pie Overnight Oats is a simple, yet satisfying breakfast that combines the flavors of pecan pie with the convenience of overnight oats. It's a great way to start your day with a healthy and delicious meal.
The origins of pecan pie overnight oats are a bit murky, but the dish is thought to have originated in the United States in the early 2000s. It's a combination of two popular breakfast dishes: overnight oats and pecan pie. Overnight oats are made by combining oats, milk, and yogurt in a jar and refrigerating them overnight. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid and become soft and creamy. Pecan pie is a classic American dessert made with pecans, sugar, corn syrup, and butter. It's typically served with whipped cream or ice cream.
