Overnight Oatmeal: 3 Ways

One of my new found loves is overnight oatmeal. Not only is it quick and simple way to have an easy breakfast, but I love tweaking with different flavors and spices!

On Sundays, I usually whip up about three or four ready-to-eat jars for the work week and find that they make breakfast so much faster and easier in the mornings. Plus, they are delicious, healthy, and filling :)

Here are my three go-to overnight oatmeal flavors:


I love mixing all the different combinations!






Here are my three basic recipes:

Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oatmeal:
1/2 cup whole oats
1/2 cup of milk (I like almond milk)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 pinch of cloves
Mix all ingredients together, store in a jar or container, let sit for up to a week in the refrigerator. Eat warm or cold.


Carrot Cake Overnight Oatmeal:
1/2 cup whole oats
1/2 cup of milk (I like almond milk)
1/3 cup finely shredded carrots
1/2 tsp molasses
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of ginger and cloves
Mix all ingredients together, store in a jar or container, let sit for up to a week in the refrigerator. Eat warm or cold.

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Overnight Oatmeal:
1/2 cup whole oats
1/2 cup of milk (I like almond milk)
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp chocolate chips
Mix all ingredients together, store in a jar or container, let sit for up to a week in the refrigerator. Eat warm or cold.

What about you? Have you ever tried overnight oats? If so, what are your favorites?

    1. To warm them up, just place the jar (or put the contents into a bowl) in the microwave and zap them for a minute or two. You may want to add a little milk after warming it up--it's up to you!
