Overnight Oatmeal... no cooking required

I am going to make this right now for my breakfast tomorrow sounds divine ,thank you

thanks for posting! Going to try this!

You'd need to add the yoghurt milk and oats (weight) into the calorie counting food thing on here I expect.. depends on the yoghurt used and 'equal' quantities I expect.

Sooo many ideas in this post. Thanks everyone for posting them! Can't wait to give them a try.

I can't wait to try this! I LOVE PINA COLADA'S!!!!

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.

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!

this sounds delicious! being the oatmeal lover that i am i'm gonna try this out!

A Few OOIAJ/Cold Oatmeal Recipes

OOIAJ stands for Overnight Oats in a Jar for those that have never heard of it. It's a meal or snack that can be made right before you go to bed at night and it'll become perfectly creamy and delicious by morning.

Here are a few of my favorites:

BBMM OOIAJ Blueberry Muffin Mix:

In a jar with a lid you can screw on tightly (a finished PB jar is PERFECT), mix in the folowing ingredients and stir or shake thouroughly.

1/3c (5Tbsp) of Oatmeal (I used BetterOats Chai Spice packet)

1/3c (5Tbsp) of Yogurt (Dannon Light&Fit Boysenberry)

1/3c (5Tbsp) of Milk (I used Silk Vanilla Soy Light)

1Tbsp of Crunchy PB (or if you're using an almost jar of PB, omit this ingredient because there's leftover PB in the jar LOL)

1Tbsp of any kind of nut or seed (I used WHOLE Flaxseeds)

1-2Tbsp of Fresh or Frozen or even Dried Blueberries

Now when you eat this, feel free to add toppings, I did low-fat granola & a small handful of fresh blueberries.

Cranberry Orange Spiced OOIAJ:

Same rule; in a jar with a lid you can screw on tightly, mix in the following ingredient and stir or shake thouroughly.

1/3c (5Tbsp) of Oatmeal (I used Quaker's Cinnamon Spice)

1/3c (5Tbsp) of Yogurt (I used Honey'd Fat Free Greek Yogurt)

1/3c (5Tbsp) of OJ or Cranberry(I used Florida Natural with Pulp)

1Tbsp of any kind of nut or seed (I used crushed Walnuts)

1tsp of Orange Zest

1Tbsp of Dried Cranberries

Top with granola if you'd like.

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries OOIAJ:

1/3c (5Tbsp) of Oatmeal (I used Lavish Dark Chocolate Oats)

1/3c (5Tbsp) of Yogurt (I used Dannon Light&Fit Strawberry)

1/3c (5Tbsp) of Milk (I used Silk Chocolate Light)

1Tbsp of Chocolate Spread (I used Peanut Co.'s Dark Chocolate Dreams Spread)

1Tbsp of Mini Chocolate Chip Morsels

1/4c Frozen strawberries or 2Tbsp Fresh Diced Strawberries

Top with more fresh strawberries.

Pina Colada OOIAJ:

1/3c (5Tbsp) of Oatmeals (I used Bob Red Mill's Organic Whole Oats)

1/3c (5Tbsp) of Yogurt (I used a Pina Colada Yogurt)

1/3c (5Tbsp) of Milk or Juice (I did 1/2 Vanilla Soy Light & 1/2 Pineapple Juice)

1Tbsp crushed Macademia Nuts

1Tbsp Shredded Coconut

2Tbsp of Dried or Diced/Tidbits of Pineapple

Top with granola and toasted shredded coconut (toast shredded coconut in a small frying pan with NO oil or spray, until it turns golden to darken brown.)

I didn't post nutritional info, because it'll vary depending on what kinds of products you use to make these. I get full off of 1/2 a serving. I usually eat it for breakfast and save the second half for a snack or for a fruit dip.

I hope you try and enjoy! There's LIMITLESS options for OOIAJ!

I did a plain version with my own homemade yogurt (just yogurt and oats) and I couldn't be happier with it.

Sounds yummy!

have to try this as I'm getting sick of hot oatmeal!

I tried this with Quaker Steel Cut oats last night and it didn't work. I had to boil them in the morning to get them to thicken up and absorb the moisture.

Will be trying old fashion oats tonight.

My favorite OO recipe:

1/2c oatmeal
1T crunchy PB
2/3c almond milk
1T cocoa powder
1 pkg splenda

It's like a no bake cookie and keeps me full. Approx 295 calories w/ 10gm protein.
