I’ll admit it: it took me a while to get onboard with the Overnight Oats thing. The first versions I tried were bland, mushy, and boring. But when my fiancé started training for a marathon, I got serious about it so that he could carb load healthily. And after layering flavors from maple syrup to almond butter and coconut, I got onboard.
This fall I’ve been topping it with the season’s fruit from nutmeg-dusted pears to these cinnamon-sprinkled persimmons. And I’ll keep it up because as the holiday shopping, wrapping, decking, and cooking begin, it’s all the more reason to start the day off right with this Persimmon Pepita Streusel Overnight Oats recipe.
Okay, that’s it! Go stock up on all your cooking essentials then head into the kitchen, make this, and share it with us by tagging @saltandwind and #swsociety on social!
