I love to eat oatmeal in the morning for breakfast; we keep a container of quick oats for something fast. In the past year I have made baked oatmeal and crock pot oatmeal, but then I saw a recipe for overnight oatmeal and I knew that I had to try it out.
I looked at several recipes, most of them said not to use the quick oats, but that is all that I had in the pantry. I decided to go ahead and make the overnight oatmeal with the quick oats anyway, because when I get an idea in my head I can’t wait, I have to try it now.
After looking at a several recipes I decided to throw a combination of ingredients together that sounded good to me. Even though I used the quick oats the oatmeal made for a great breakfast. I ate it cold, which I really never thought of eating cold oatmeal before, but to my surprise had a yummy flavor.
Peanut butter and cinnamon has become one of my favorite combination of late, this combo brings the oatmeal a yummy flavor. A bit of honey and vanilla yogurt for sweetness and I was set for breakfast.
Peanut Butter and Cinnamon Overnight Oatmeal
Ingredients:
1/2 cup oats (I used quick oats, but you can your favor)
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons peanut butter
Couple of dashes of salt or to taste
2 tablespoons honey
Direction:
1. Place all ingredients in a small jar or container mix together until well blended.
2. Cover with a lid and set in the refrigerator overnight.
3. In the morning remove from refrigerator and eat cold or it can be heated up and eaten that way. You can top with fruit or eat plain either way it will be yummy.
Delish! I love the combo of flavours.
Sounds wonderful.
Wow, doesn’t get much easier than that. I wonder if I can use Greek Yogurt, it’s all I have in the house.
What a hearty, healthy breakfast idea! I’m in a rut..maybe oatmeal will help dig me out 🙂
Look amazing! I love oatmeal!
You think extra thick old fashioned oats would be ok, or is that too thick? Because I must have this. Now.
Old fashion oats would probably work even better than the quick oats that I used. I used the quick oats because that is all I had in my house.
Looks great!! I am a big fan of peanut butter in just about anything, love the addition of cinnamon though. 🙂
Peanut butter and cinnamon is one of my favorite combos also! You just can’t go wrong when you start out your day so deliciously.
This looks so good! Love the flavors in this. Thanks.
This is the rage now! Adding peanut butter into the oats is a great idea!
