Overnight.

IMG_4109Blog

During the night last night temperatures dropped. I had strange dreams about my high school friends. And these oats were a’soakin’!

IMG_4115Blog

Into my near-empty Barney Butter jar went:

  • 1/3 cup oats
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup greek yogurt
  • Half banana
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • Pinch salt
  • Sprinkle cinnamon
  • Cville Cluster crumbles on top

IMG_4110Blog

As much as I love hot creamy oats, I really do proclaim overnight oats in a nut butter jar to be my favorite breakfast of all time. The sticky, salty texture is the BEST!

IMG_4116Blog

[A coincidence that Barney Butter just flew back on the shelves at OpenSky a few minutes ago]

IMG_4111Blog

I made a mug of Choffy this morning [a caffeine-free cacao brew like coffee]. Rich!

IMG_4114Blog

New towel from Target! Just love the texture, color and patterns on these!

IMG_4120Blog

Have a fab day!

    I have fallen in love with overnight oats this past year and your morning posts always help me start out my days with a new yummy variation on the same old same old. I love fruit and nuts in my oats but ever since I tried incorporating nut butters I’m hooked!!! can’t wait to try some in the end of the jar!

    You mentioned in the OpenSky BB description that this is one of your top 10 nut butters- how does the rest of the list shake out? Just curious! Maybe it’s just from all of the end-of-year “Best Of” lists, but I love them!

    I’ve been eating overnight oats on most weekday mornings because it’s the easiest, most convenient thing to bring to work. But, I just do not get the hype of Barney Butter! I love almond butter, but am just not impressed with this brand. To me, the self-serve fresh ground almond butter at Whole Foods is the best. And strangely enough, I think that Blue Diamond is right up there too.
    But my favorite o.o.i.a.j. definitely goes to the nearly-empty Sunflower butter jar!

    I agree with you – there is very little that can beat overnight oats in a [nearly] empty nut butter jar. I pretty much lived on it last week (luckily I’ve been plowing through nut butter jars to be able to do so!). I’m lovin’ the towel too! The colors, the pattern, it’s awesome 🙂

    The oats in a jar look wonderful. I am assuming when you do this, you make it all first in one bowl, then transfer it all back into the jar. See, I make my oats in the microwave to save time and whatever I make it in, I eat it from…but there’d be no way a plastic container like that would survive. But I think you make on the stovetop, anyway.

    It looks delish!

      I really don’t know either – and I use more than they recommend because I like big mugs. it calls for 2 tbsp per 6 ounce water, I usually use a quarter cup for 12 oz water. So the question is: how many quarter cups of choffey are in a 12 oz bag….and that I don’t know

    I need to make overnight oats more often! I’ve been relying on semi-instant oats lately, and they’re yummy and filling…but even that 5 minutes of boiling the water in my kettle and waiting for it to cool to an edible temperature is sometimes too much on a frantic morning!

    I’ve been making overnight oats for over a year now since I first read your blog about them! I absolutley LOVE when my PB jar is almost gone because I know I can make my overnight oats for breakfast the next morning. To be honest, that is the only time I make them now; when I have a jar of PB on empty! I love scraping the pb off the side with a scoop of the creamy, sweet oats! Thank you for the great idea, it truely is one of my favorite breakfast ideas!
