Overnight Refrigerator Oatmeal

I reviewed this after the first time eating it for breakfast. I thought it was too thick, and I had to add more milk when I went to eat it. However, I ate this for dinner tonight, and I liked how thick it was. I guess I just wasn't in the mood for it the first day. I made a double batch and had enough for 4 servings. I added cinnamon and dried cranberries when I made it, and then added pecans and some cinnamon and sugar on top when I ate it. I definitely liked having the crunch of nuts, because it is kind of gooey when not cooked.

I have been making this overnight oats recipe for years, and it is still a favorite of both me and my hubby. I always use unsweetened almond milk; and add maple syrup to taste for sweetness. There are numerous ways to customize this as well--you can add different fruits (dried or fresh), nuts/seeds, various spices, nut or seed butter; the possibilities are endless! I also really appreciate that this recipe uses a combination of yogurt and milk, as I often find overnight oats that use just milk to be too watery tasting. Thank you so much for this recipe--I will be making it for many more years to come!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!!

Great easy recipe. You don't exactly need the jar, but if you want to use it, it's still fun. I used regular milk, but sweetened it with honey. I definitely recommend adding fruit before you serve it.

This is a great baseline recipe for you to tweak according to what your tastes are or what you happen to have available. It's easy enough to change out the type of milk, yogurt, or fruit. I used unsweetened almond milk, non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt, and bananas in one small jar and blueberries in the other. I also needed some Truvia to sweeten it up a bit. Half the recipe was plenty for my breakfast.
