After the recent success of the English faculty’s new reading club ‘Breakfast With Books’, many students have requested the recipe for Mrs Titheradge’s Nutella Overnight Oats. These oats are easily prepared days in advance and are a quick and easy start to the day. You can even eat them on the run – in the car on the way to school or weekend sport!

If you want to leave out the sugar, you can sweeten with a natural sweetener like Stevia, sugar-free maple syrup, or even dates! This recipe is for a serving of 12 small mason jars. If you want to serve a smaller crowd, simply divide the recipe by the number of serves you need. These are best made 2 days in advance.
