Okay, I think it's safe to say I have a new addiction. Overnight Oatmeal. It is just so gosh darn delicious and quite frankly I just don't understand why. You see, I have never been an oatmeal fan. I hate those pouches of instant oatmeal and don't even get me started on putting oats in cookies. That, my friends, is just wrong. However, whole grain oats are are great food because for the amount you get in a serving they're relatively low calorie and high in fiber. AKA you get to eat less and stay full longer! So, I decided that I was going to once again give oatmeal a try and since Pinterest had already shown me multiple overnight recipes I knew that was where I should start. So fat I've tried three, completely different breakfasts: Peanut Butter Jar Oats, Cinnamon Peach Oats and my own creation Pumpkin Pecan Oats. The Pumpkin Pecan needs a little more work before I release my recipe but keep reading for the other two!!
Directions (Same for both recipes): Combine dry ingredients in container of choice (mine is a Ball jar :D ) and shake to mix. Combine wet ingredients in a separate dish and then add to dry ingredients. Mix well and refrigerate overnight.
PB Jar Oats - For this recipe use a PB container that has about 1 TBSP of butter left in it!
Dry:
1/2 cup Rolled or Old Fashioned Oats
1 Tbsp ground flax seed
Wet:
1/2 cup milk of choice, I use Vanilla Almond Milk
1/2 banana, mashed
Cinnamon Peach Oats
Dry:
1/2 cup Rolled or Old Fashioned Oats
1 Tbsp ground flax seed
6 Almonds, chopped
