“Candy Corn” Overnight Oats

Enjoy this fun protein, fiber and nutrient-packed Candy Corn Overnight Oats on Halloween or any day.

Candy Corn Overnight Oats

Candy corn is a quintessential Halloween staple with nineteen pieces packing 140 calories and 32 grams of sugar. My kids love it, hubby hates it.

I remember as a kid we would gleefully wait for my mom to buy the seasonal Entenmann’s Halloween themed cupcakes topped with thick fudge, orange icing and candy corn. Can you say sugar coma?

This “Candy Corn” Overnight Oats recipe mimics the colors of the classic sugary treat with none of the food dyes or simple sugars. You can use any yellow or orange colored fruit you have on hand. If you can locate pichuberries, gooseberries or stone cherries (all basically the same look and flavor) they add a little bit of tart along with sweet. Otherwise, mandarin oranges or clementines will work nicely. 

Serving this recipe in a martini glass gives it a triangular appearance to resemble the shape of real candy corn. Enjoy it for a protein packed breakfast on Halloween morning, or a hearty, protein and fiber rich snack before trick-or-treating.
