For many years, I avoided grains completely and was vocal about it! During the height of my Hashimoto’s autoimmune disease, removing grains from my diet was one of the things that made a noticeable difference in my healing. Now that my body is back to a healthy state, I’ve added a lot of foods back into my diet.
While I still don’t eat grains every day, I’ve found that enjoying them on occasion, especially in nutrient-dense recipes, works well for me.
This pumpkin spice overnight oats recipe is one of those times where oats get a place on my table. It’s comforting, seasonal, and surprisingly nourishing. Plus, it’s a simple make-ahead breakfast that makes busy mornings so much easier.
