Overnight Oats in a Jar.
I love eggs. I eat them almost every morning for breakfast. However, some days, especially when I plan on having a big salad with hardboiled eggs for lunch, I like to change things up a bit.
Enter overnight oats.
I'm not a huge fan of oatmeal, but after I tried these soaked oats the first time I was hooked. They are super easy, taste wonderful and (best part!) are good for you!
What to do:
Fill your one pint mason jar half full of old fashioned (thick cut) oats.
Pour just enough milk to cover them, add half a teaspoon of lemon juice, and stir well
Let sit overnight.
In the morning start adding whatever you want. In this particular jar I put in yogurt, maple syrup, raisins, and cinnamon. You could also add honey, more milk, fruit, nuts, berries, etc.
Give everything a good stir and dig in!
Some good combination variations would be:
+apple chunks, cinnamon, honey and a bit of apple juice.
+shredded coconut, maple syrup and walnuts.
+blueberries, honey, and slivered almonds.
+bananas, maple syrup, vanilla, and a bit of peanut butter.
Really, the possibilities are endless!
I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing hun. By the way, your sweet baby is adorable. Looks like you all are one blessed little family. Praise the Lord for all his goodness and mercy.....blessings
ReplyDeleteI remember Madaleine Kamman, who had an early cooking tv, show saying that in Switzerland they always set out a pan of oatmeal and covered it with millk, overnight, and did not then cook it....Such a smart idea.
