2 cups of fresh baby spinach (1 cup if you don’t prefer lots of spinach)

1 8 oz package baby bella or white mushrooms, sliced or diced small
1/4 c. finely diced red bell pepper, optional
1/4 c. finely diced onion, optional

Pepper to taste
You can really add whatever you’d like to these. Ground turkey sausage, bacon, Asparagus, broccoli, etc. Be creative
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet on medium heat.
Saute the mushrooms (and onions and peppers if using) for about 5-6 minutes
Then add the spinach and cook for about 4 more minutes or until tender.
Drain the excess liquid very well.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until combined. Add the cooked mushrooms, spinach, onion, red pepper and cheeses (if using) and mix well.
Divide the mixture evenly between the muffin tin.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

SO HOW DO YOU MAKE OVERNIGHT OATS?
- Start by combining rolled or old fashioned oats with your favorite milk and / or coconut or Greek yogurt in a 8 oz. mason jar, resealable container or a bowl. These 7 oz jars are the ones you actually see in the photos and are currently my favorite ones.
- Overnight oats are super versatile so feel free to add any sweetener or spices you like.
- Seal or cover with a lid and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- There are a ton of ways you can customize the flavors. Have fun and mix up the flavors so you can have a different one every day of the week.
- And if you make them in a mason jar, you can easily transport this healthy breakfast to school, work or enjoy them on the road. Enjoy them straight from the jar or pour into a bowl and add your favorite toppings.
