Overnight Oatmeal


I have always loved the idea of soaking oats overnight for a really easy breakfast in the morning but until recently hadn't done much experimenting. I've seen everything from water to apple juice and milk or yogurt used to soften the oats. I think all of those options sound equally delicious. Last night I tried a version of this recipe from Eat, Live, Run. Here's exactly what I did:

1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup 1% milk
1/2 cup fat free Greek yogurt
A handful of raisins

I combined those ingredients in a bowl and popped it in the refrigerator to get delicious overnight. The next morning I added a big spoonful of peanut butter and a drizzle of maple syrup. It was great! I love that it requires such little prep in the morning.

In the past I've tried this muesli (meant for overnight oats), but I didn't get very experimental and only ate it raw on top of yogurt. It was delicious though, and I would definitely recommend trying it in overnight oats.
