This Overnight Oatmeal recipe is quick and delicious! I use whatever fruit I have on hand and the end result is always great.
This is easy and good. I made it with blueberry flavored yogurt and frozen blueberries so their juice made the whole thing turn a pretty blueish purple color.
This is such an easy recipe for a quick breakfast. It stores well too, so it could easily be made Sunday night and eaten several mornings in the week. I have never had an issue with it being too thick, but that could easily be amended by adding a little extra milk to get the preferred texture.
This recipe goes great with Food Hero's Not Your Everyday Apples when the apples are prepared ahead of time and served cold as a topping for the oatmeal.
Oatmeal is my favorite food for breakfast, so this is a good recipe for the hot summer-time! I use any fruit I have on hand.
