Your New Favorite Breakfast: Cinnamon Apple Overnight Oats

I never skip breakfast. This is not to say that my breakfasts are always Insta-worthy, though. In fact, the concoctions are getting weirder and weirder in my efforts to make the meal a quick one: a cheese stick, an apple, and the crust from the kids’ toasts? I can do better.
Enter this make-ahead overnight oatmeal. It’s as quick a meal as a cheese stick but far and away more satisfying — and far more Insta-worthy, too. If you whip it up and store in glass jars, you can microwave them straight from the fridge, stir in your sweetener of choice, and be out the door before the coffee finishes its drip.
