I knew it has to be something genius – Refrigerator Oatmeal!
The basic formula: oatmeal, yogurt, milk, some sort of fruit layered in a mason jar. Put it in the fridge overnight. Presto. In the morning, you will enjoy a tasty and nutritious breakfast.
Brent’s sister told him about the overnight oatmeal and he found a recipe online. This quick & easy dish been making the rounds on all the blogs. I was familiar with it but I haven’t tried. Sona volunteered to whip up a batch so Brent and I could have some after our Sunday run.
It definitely hit the spot! Loved it!
Here’s their recipe. Gather your mason jars and the ingredients. I would put the ingredients in as listed from top to bottom in the mason jar. (Adjust the amount of each ingredient to your taste.)
B & S Refrigerator Oatmeal
1/4 cup of milk
1/4 cup of yogurt
a spoonful of chia seeds
frozen blueberries (to your liking)

I like refrigerator oatmeal, too, especially on hot days when I want something cold for breakfast. Yours sounds good!
It is tasty when you want to spice up things in the morning!
That looks good! I do slow cooker oatmeal lots but I might just have to try this! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I need to buy a smaller slow cooker to make my oatmeal. Love it 🙂
I've made oats in an old nut butter jar and was so not a fan. I like slow cooked oats.
Yup. I tried it for a few days and I am not 100 per cent sold. It's okay once and a while. I prefer a green smoothie for breakfast.
i need a baby slowcooker too for oatmeal!! this oes look super easy and yummy! a nice change too
I've seen this, but haven't tried it yet, yum! I have done slowcooker steel cut oats, and those are super good, I also really liked baked oatmeal. Lately I've been pre-making a big batch of breakfast burritos and freezing them, I just grab one and bring it to work with me, microwave it and eat it with my morning coffee. Especially if I'm running or working out, I need a little more protein for breakfast.
I tried it for a few days but I really like my smoothies. I have taken it as a mid-morning snack. I need more protein too!
But doesn't the oatmeal go all soggy? No wait, I'm thinking of granola. Cold oatmeal. I'm going to have to think about this. Mostly I'm a granola with nuts kind of guy, sometimes with milk, sometimes with yogurt.
