    I wanted to try this, too. What's the difference between rolled and steel cut oats?
    Steel cut are about twice as expensive as rolled, with no real benefit.

    go to http://www.theyummylife.com/Refrigerator_Oatmeal.

    There are a load of variations. I just made the Rasberry Vanilla. The recipe from the website is:
    •1/4 cup uncooked old fashioned rolled oats
    •1/3 cup skim milk
    •1/4 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
    •1-1/2 teaspoons dried chia seeds
    •1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
    •1 tablespoon raspberry jam, preserves, or spread
    •1/4 to 1/3 cup raspberries (cut each berry in half), or enough to fill jar

    I used a Fage greek yogurt with the rasberry side car and frozen rasberries. My chia seeds didn't plump as much as I thought they would so maybe I needed more liquid - BUT, it was awesome.

    I eat 'overnight oatmeal' almost daily for breakfast. I found this site that has many different versions of 'overnight oatmeal'

    I've made these. Love them.

    I never knew. I just assumed people talking about overnight oats were talking about slow cooker oats. I do steel-cut oats in the slow cooker with just oats, water, milk, salt, and spices. It cooks while I'm sleeping, and in the morning I add fruit and/or nuts and/or sweetener to my bowl. I usually make enough fr the week, and warm up in the microwave after the first morning.

    Very good point about adding fruit before eating.

    1/2 cup rolled oats
    3/4-1 cup of 2% milk (depending how thick you like it, i like mine thick)
    1 tsp cinnamon
    2 packets splenda (i usually add this right before eating)
    fruit of choice
    i just started using walnuts and i have been experimenting with different fruits but so far have found i prefer peaches or bananas the best...
    you can do just about anything with this. just be creative

    They are little oat chunks (squareish). Look for some of the organic brands of cereals, like maybe Bob's Red Mill etc... They come out cooked as more of a porridge than regular oats. I have never tried the overnight way but since I have oats 364 days a year, I'll surely try it.
