I have found that I eat nearly the same thing for breakfast for while and then I change it up and go awhile with another recipe. I'm not sure why but I've been on an oatmeal kick for a while now. Its not quite been cold enough every morning to have hot oatmeal so I opted for the cold overnight recipes. The texture of the oatmeal is chewier rather than a bowl suited for someone who just had dental work. Don't get me wrong I do like hot oatmeal I just haven't been in the mood for it yet. As with hot oatmeal the toppings and creations for overnight oats is endless.
Simple Blueberry Overnight Oats
- 1/4 cup oatmeal
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup water or milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Layer all the ingredients in a small mason jar. Tighten the lid on the jar and give it a good shake to stir things up. Put in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight.
I made Applesauce Overnight Oats the day before. Here's how I did it.
Applesauce Overnight Oats
- 1/4 cup oatmeal
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1/4 cup water or milk
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or Pumpkin Pie spice mix
Layer all the ingredients in a small mason jar. Tighten the lid on the jar and give it a good shake to stir things up. Put in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight.
I've already got tomorrow's recipe planned. Red Raspberry Overnight Oats.
Enjoy good food,
