Ok, here’s another recipe for all you Nutella lovers out there.  Seriously — we're talking #healthyfoodporn at its FINEST.  These overnight oats are thick, creamy, and decadent with that wonderful rich hazelnut & chocolate flavour.  But they are also free of refined sugar and packed with fibre, protein, and healthy fats, too!
