I kept seeing recipes on Pinterest for Oats in a Jar. I love peanut butter and have empty peanut butter jars at least once a week, so I thought oats in a jar would be another good breakfast option. I've also been trying to learn to like oatmeal, so I decided to give them a try using a recipe I found on Skinnytaste.com. They did not turn out so well :/ On take two, I decided to do my own thing and they turned out much better. Sorry there is no picture, the pictures made oats in jar not very appetizing :)
Overnight Oats in a Jar
empty peanut butter jar
1/4 cup quick oats
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk)
1 to 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
Place all the ingredient in a jar, shake, cover and refrigerate
overnight. Add your favorite crunchy toppings such as nuts, granola, etc
and enjoy the next day warmed up.
Next time, I am going to add some mini chocolate chips instead of cocoa powder.
While I'm not a very granola, crunchy, organic type of person, I've decided to attempt clean eating to correct some minor health issues that have popped up recently. Starting in January 2013, my family will attempt to rid our diet of preservatives, additives and other processed/junk food. Along with clean eating, I still want to save money, so my adventures will see what kind of deals I can get on natural foods.
