I’ve been itching to try overnight oats a la Iowa Girl Eats and I finally got the opportunity to try it this morning… or, last night.
So simple!
Mix one container of yogurt (I used A&E Apple Cinnamon) and 1/2 cup Old Fashioned Oats. Leave in the fridge overnight. In the morning, I added a chopped apple, a handful of raisins, and a handful of walnuts.
WONDERFUL!
It’s like dessert for breakfast, sans sugary donut. Chewy texture of raisins and oatmeal + crunch of apple and walnut = Perfection.
Iowa Girl Eats has several variations on her overnight oats. Her pumpkin recipe looks pretty tasty. That’d be a great way to use up all of my $.79 canned pumpkin.

Looks like a good use for some of those 30-cent almost-expired Yoplaits I found at Meijer the other day. Thanks for posting it!
30 cents? Sweet deal! Enjoy!
I’m going to mix this up tonight and try it in the morning! Its been awhile since I’ve been this excited for breakfast
Crazy ?. Do you cook the oatmeal first?
I think you & Iowa girl have just reinvented muesli. I have heard before that Swiss people prefer it soaked overnight. My BF eats this pretty much every day. We make it with plain yogurt and muesli we mix ourselves (about 2 parts large flake rolled oats and 1 part fruit & nuts). Our favourite dried fruits are raisins, dried cranberries, dates, apricots and recently crystallized ginger if I can find it on sale. Our favourite nuts/seeds are walnuts, pumpkin seeds (aka pepitas), sunflower seeds, almonds. We top it off with maple syrup (we got a case really cheap because we know a guy), sometimes vanilla, and fresh or frozen fruit (thawed blueberries are great in this, mango is also nice).
It is so good and crazy healthy if you don’t use too much sugar.
No cooking! That’s what makes it so wonderful!
That does sound delicious! I have been using the sugared-up yogurt, but my mom has had great success with plain yogurt with fruit for sweetness. I’m going to try my oatmeal your way. Yum!
