When you’re trying to get out the door in the morning make sure and grab this easy breakfast idea to fuel you through your day!

Mornings can be pretty chaotic around here. So it’s important for me to simplify breakfast as much as possible. That being said one can’t live off of bagels or cereal alone. I want the kids to have something that’s got a little more sustenance without all the work. So that’s why I love this 2 ingredient strawberry yogurt and this recipe for Easy Overnight Refrigerator Oatmeal has become a huge favorite in our home. Best of all it can be tailored to any needs, or taste 🙂 I actually prefer this over the traditional oatmeal because of the texture that you get from the refrigerated kind vs cooked.

What you need to make Refrigerator oatmeal

Mason Jar

Oatmeal (old fashion-not instant or rolled!)

Milk

Greek Yogurt

Fruits, Nuts,(anything that you like-Sky is the limit!)

Honey or sugar for sweetening

You can make this recipe with any size mason jar. I used the half pint because I know that’s the perfect size for my family. To be honest with you I’m full with that size as well because of how hearty that is. That being said you can upgrade in size if you know you have a heartier appetite.

To begin fill mason jar half way to 3/4 up with oats.

    This is so similar to what I eat in the mornings anyway, but it’s made ahead of time! I like the idea of prepping it the night before and it’s all ready to eat by morning. Thanks for sharing!

    How is the texture different? And do you eat it cold? It sounds super easy and healthy, so I want to be excited, but I admit, I’m still hesitant.

    I will need to bookmark this after this comment. Would love to make this for my husband and I so we can eat breakfast at work. We’re not morning people, so we like to get as much sleep as we can before heading out the door. So we eat breakfast at work.

    I love that you added yogurt to your oatmeal, I don’t know to many people that do
    this, and I do I love that you can make these ahead of time. This will work out wonderful
    when I know I have the grandchildren over for a few days.

    I should do this for my hubby as a surprise in the morning. He gets up very early (before anyone else)… so it isn’t often that breakfast is ready for him.

    I am not a huge fan of oatmeal cereal! Mainly because I think it has a slimmy texture to it when its cooked! I Prefer Cream of wheat! But not cooking it, it should have a different texture all together! So these Overnight oatmeal treats look so good to me, I think I will actually try these. Thankyou for sharing this great Idea. I pinned it on my pinterest board!!

    I never thought to do these in jars that are small like baby food jars! So perfect for the kids or toss in my bag for a snack. I find my mason jar ones make way too much to eat at one time.

    I love the recipe for Easy Overnight Refrigerator Oatmeal. Its easy to make and quick which in most households, is great. I know it is in my home. Im a home school mom and try to plan out meals and snacks ahead of time so that I have more time with my son for class work and outside fun. For me, I think the Honey in the recipe would taste so good. 🙂 Thanks for the recipe.

    I’ve seen this before but not read exactly how to do this. I love oatmeal for breakfast but seemingly always running late so how perfect to make this the night before.
