    I don't really use a recipe but I have about a half cup (or so) of fat free vanilla yoguart and stir in about a quarter cup of steel cut oatmeal at night and then in the morning I add some fruit to it. It's nothing fancy but it works.

    google.com is a great place to find every thing you need, and some things you don't. Just google it

    In a bowl, mix your oats with the liquid of your choice - milk, water fruit juice etc.

    In the morning, add in any other ingredients you like - berries, nuts, seeds, some yoghurt.

    Made this for the first time over the weekend using a variation of the recipe on this page:

    http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/06/skinny-overnight-oats-in-jar.html

    We didn't use the banana or stevia, and I replaced the chia seeds with flax seeds (because that's what we had). It was great, and my mind is awhirl with possibilities for variations. I think this may become our new weekend breakfast.

    I do 1/2C FF greek yogurt, 1/2C old fashioned oats, 1/2C FF milk, 1T chia seeds. Stir and let site overnight (I make 4-5 servings on Sunday to last the week and its still good on the last day), in morning add fruit and sweetener of choice. This week its blueberries and a touch of maple syrup.

    Here is my recipe (per serving):

    1/4 cup rolled oats
    1/4 plain yogurt
    1/4 cup skim milk
    1 tsp. chia seeds (optional - if not, use little less milk)
    2 tsp. sugar free pancake syrup (or 2 pks of Splenda)

    Mix or shake well, then add flavors:

    Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal:
    1/4 cup pureed pumpkin
    1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
    Stir into ingredients above
    Sprinkle with walnuts (optional)

    Blueberry Maple
    1/2 cup blueberries
    Increase pancake syrup to 2 TB

    Peach/Honey
    1/4 cup chopped peaches
    1 teaspoon honey


    Also, I add my sweeteners and fruits when I make the oatmeal, because I like the flavors to blend. If you don't use bananas, it lasts 4-5 days. Bananas, I do add same day. Another good variation is to add 2T cocoa powder.

    I use coconut-almond milk instead of yogurt to keep the calories down.

    Take 1 cup steel cut oats and put in a heavy sauce pan. Toast them on medium heat for about 3-5 minutes. Turn heat to medium high and pour in 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, place lid on pan, turn off heat and go to bed. In the morning you will have perfectly cooked steel cut oats. I heat 200 grams in microwave and add blue berries.

    Made some overnight oatmeal a month ago....I personally thought it was horrible. It was like cold wet paste and I love oatmeal. I thought this was going to be a recipe to add to my fast-on-the-go breakfast options. Should I have heated it up or do you eat it cold?

    This is the recipe I've used with great success. http://suite101.com/article/crockpot-oatmeal-recipe-a11482
    I've actually cut down the brown sugar to 1/4 cup (it's a taste preference) and you can substitute any dried fruit
    for the raisins. This makes so much and as I am the only one who eats it, I put it into individual containers and
    have ready made breakfast for 8 days straight (refrigerated and then heated up.) I usually add some Almond Breeze
    vanilla flavored milk to it when I heat it up!

    Bumping for that pumpkin pie oatmeal recipe. Yum!!

    I love overnight oats but my husband (who also normally likes oatmeal) hated it. I think it's a texture thing. I like the "chewiness" but that's exactly what he hated. I'm trying chia seeds in mine for the first time today. :)

    don't like normal oatmeal and found out this morning I don't like this either. Oh well it was worth a shot.

    My understanding is that it's normally eaten cold (which is what my wife & I did, and we enjoyed it). But I suppose that you could always heat it up if you think you might enjoy it better that way. Actually, another possibility that we came up with was that on days when we know that we'll be running out the door early (like when we have a Renaissance festival to go to), giving a batch of this a whirl in the Vita-Mix with a little extra almond milk would give us a nutritious drinkable breakfast to have in the car on the way to wherever.

    I make slow cooker steel cut oats all the time... it's one of my favourite breakfasts. Invest in a small 1.5 quart crock pot - they're only around $10 at Walmart - a perfect size!!


    ---Slow Cooker Steel Cut Oats---

    1/2 cup steel cut oats, dry
    2 cups water

    Spray slow cooker lightly with cooking spray. Add oats and water. Put slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours. Oats will be ready by morning! When it's done, I mix in frozen blueberries or sliced banana and walnuts, and sweeten it with a bit of agave nectar. Delish! (Makes 2 good-sized portions.)

    This is my Tweaked recipe from one I found on "The Yummy Life" web site.

    Ingredients
    • 1/4 cup uncooked old fashioned oats
    • 1/3 cup Protein Drink
    • 1/4 cup CarbMaster Yogurt
    • 1-1/2 teaspoons dried chia seeds
    • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/4 to 1/3 cup raspberries (cut each berry in half), or enough to fill jar . Or any fruit to match yogurt
    • Optional add nuts to add protein.



    So what I do is:

    Mix the 1/4 cup uncooked oatmeal, the 1/3 cup Protien Drink, the 1/4 cup CarbMaster yogurt, 1-1/2 chia seeds, 1/4 exract (flavor of choice) in the container of choice, I stir NOT shake, (the first time I tried it my lid was not sealed WHAT a mess lol), Then top with the 1/4 cup Fruit (of choice) and nuts (optional). Nuts were not figured in the nutritional data.

    my recent fave...

    1/2 cup old fashioned large flake oats
    1/2 cup almond milk
    1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt
    chia seeds
    pumpkin pie spice
    nutmeg
    2 tsp brown sugar - optional
    *sometimes I'll add add 1/4 cup pure pumpkin (NOT pie filling)

    then in the morning top it off with half a banana & some chopped walnuts

    I have plain instant oatmeal frequently along with a little rice milk and sometimes fruit and/or nuts added.

    I don't think I would like cold oatmeal, regular or instant.

    Are people doing this to save money by buying regular (non-instant) oatmeal, or is there some other health benefit that I'm not getting from this thread?

    The Greek yogurt adds in a good amount of protein.
