I'm an Indian guy in my twenties, living in US. I used to have cornflakes and the like for breakfast, but recently I turned lactose intolerant. I hate cornflakes without the milk.

There are a lot of breakfast options coming from my culture, but I need something that doesn't take time to make. I'm a lazy bum and can barely make it in time to my university as it is. If anyone has ideas, please let me know.

I’ve been enjoying overnight oats over the last few months. It’s super easy to make and you can meal prep it the night before.

I usually make it with oat milk, honey, and peanut butter topped with granola for some extra texture.

I've been eating this as breakfast as well for probably over a year now. Can't say that I've been enjoying them because the taste is pretty bland, but they sure are healthy and help a lot with digestion.

I make them super bland though, just rolled oats with double their weight in milk.
Before I added some maple syrup to give it some flavour, but then I tried to reduce calories in my meals and this kind of stuck.

I think the neat thing is that you can make it how you want. Fruits, honey, and other standard oatmeal toppings can make it quite enjoyable.

My wife has been making this and I've tried it a couple times but the cold texture is just so disgusting to me personally. Can't do it. The taste wasn't too bad (roughly the same ingredients as yours) as it reminded me of oatmeal cookie dough.

Overnights oats is great. I make it with 1 dl oats, 1.5 dl oat milk, Β½ mashed banana, salt and maybe some nuts or berries.
