In the evening fill a bowl or tupperware with equal parts raw oats, yogurt and milk (or adjust to taste) and leave in the fridge overnight. In the morning, the oats will be perfectly “done” and ready to eat cold. Just add fruit, granola, nuts, peanut butter & jelly, or other toppings when time to eat. Great simple breakfast, which is especially delicious in the summertime when you don’t want to eat anything hot!

    Is this with steel cut oats, or regular oats?

    I've only used the regular, but I think it will work with both.

    I've been doing OOIAJ (Overnight Oats in a Jar) for a long time now. I make so many varieties, they're under my recipes.

    Pina Colada OOIAJ:

    In a mason jar (or finished PB jar) Add:

    1/3 cup oats (your choice, flavored or not, steel or not)
    1/3 cup pineapple yogurt
    1/3 cup light coconut milk
    1 Tbsp Shredded Coconut
    1 Tbsp Pineapple (dried, tidbits or fresh crushed)
    1 Tbsp of crushed Macadamia nuts.

    Stir together, cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.

    It's also known as Bircher Muesli - Google it for lots of alternate recipes.

    I make it by just soaking the oats in water overnight, then in the morning I mix in yoghurt, grated apple, cinnamon, wheatgerm and LSA. Super Delicious!!!!
