Time-Saving {and *yummy*} Breakfast

Wednesday, September 5, 2012

I was reading one of Elaine's posts @ Sunny Simple Life about school, routines, and things we can do to have easier mornings during the school week.  Then I remembered Beth's post about the Best Oatmeal Ever, and I thought it would be a good idea to try Beth's recipe because it is made the night before.

This is how I made it:

Beth's Best Oatmeal Ever

1 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
2/3 cup Honey flavored Noosa yogurt
2 T blueberry jam

(Obviously you can sub the yogurt for plain Greek nonfat yogurt, and use your favorite flavor jam.)

Mix the ingredients together, cover and chill in the fridge overnight.  It is so yummy, and it saves time!

I know it does not photograph well, and mine looks a wee bit purple due to the blueberry jam, but trust me, it tastes delicious!

Do you have any great tips for getting teenagers out the door in a timely fashion?  :/

Until next time...

Blessings!

  1. So you don't cook this? Very fast if not. I love oatmeal. If my husband is out sometimes I have it for dinner. :o)

  3. I'm so glad you liked it! To be fair, I got inspired for that from Miss Angie, whose recipe was slightly different but the concept was the same. :)

    You can swap any flavor, and I prefer it cold but I'm sure you can zap it in the microwave and get it warmed a bit. My current fast breakfast is a piece of toast with almond butter and several dashes of cinnamon. It sticks to the ribs!

  5. Sounds great! I am a big fan of Steel Cut Oats which take awhile to cook but can be stored in the fridge all week long.

  9. I have the hardest time getting my kids to eat oatmeal. I love it but you would swear I'm trying to feed them poison if I try to give it to them.

  10. Ricki Jill,
    My oldest son was/is a huge oatmeal fan. He would have enjoyed this recipe when he was in school, still living with us. He's a happily married man now and his wife prepares his oatmeal, I'll pass this along. Thanks.

  12. Ok now I see that. Yes I need to still share what you all told me. We are getting it down for sure. You see what works. I love oatmeal and have heard of the long simmered type but never over night. This sounds like something I would love. Did your daughter like it?
