Chia Seeds:
Chia seeds are basically magic. These teeny tiny seeds are rich in so many beneficial nutrients. They are loaded with fiber, prebiotics, omega-3 fats, calcium, magnesium, iron and potassium. Because they offer a nice balance of soluble and insoluble fiber, they can be beneficial in keeping you regular, help regulate blood sugar, and maintain a healthy gut microbiome.
Oats:
Oats are a great source of soluble fiber so they help balance hormones, keep you feeling full and aid in weight loss. They also can help lower LDL cholesterol, keep your blood sugar stabilized and support healthy gut microbiome.
I have been trying so many different squash varieties this season and it makes me want to replace every pumpkin recipe with a new winter squash! This recipe is similar to your basic pumpkin pie overnight oats but so much better! The biggest difference with this recipe is the roasted winter squash. Pumpkin is included in the winter squash category by the way, but why not try something different! I would recommend using squash like honeynut or buttercup (which I used here) but really any winter squash would be great! The key is to avoid the typical canned pumpkin and roast the squash yourself. The flavor and texture is worth the very minimal work, I promise! Love overnight oats? Try our Bananas Foster Overnight Oats. If you are looking for more squash recipes check out our Roasted Butternut Squash and Apple Soup.
Roasted Squash:
Overnight Oats:
This recipe yield a lot of squash which makes it the perfect time to experiment in the kitchen. You can turn the remainder of your squash into a delicious soup, like our Roasted Butternut Squash and Apple Soup, or add it to your morning latte, favorite bread recipe and so much more!
When using oats opt for Old-Fashioned rolled oats instead of the quick/ instant kind because they are less processed and have a lower glycemic index; meaning they are more slowly digested and won’t cause as much of a spike in your blood sugar.
