    It's really a time saving measure rather than any health benefits. Plus in the summer, its nice not to have a hot oatmeal.

    I've just recently fallen in love with this idea. Try the Yummy Life blog! All kinds of good recipes! So far, we've made Cherry-Chocolate Chunk and Blackberry-Vanilla. YUM!

    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?

    Heat it up.

    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 sugar free syrup too! A little cinnamon with some craisins. I sometimes add pecans in the morning.

    I'm not a hot oatmeal fan and I found this easy and convenient. I use vanilla or chocolate protein mix for my liquid.

    My go-to overnight oats recipe is:

    1/2 c. oats
    1/2 c. unsweetened almond milk
    1 Tbsp PB2 (or any kind of peanut butter is fine)
    1 Tbsp. honey
    1 tsp. cocoa powder

    Mix together and stick in fridge overnight. I usually take mine out about 15-20 minutes before I eat it so it can warm up a bit. Its DELICIOUS!!! :bigsmile:
