Old fashioned oats soaked overnight in milk and yogurt, sweetened with a drizzle of agave and strawberries and blueberries. A creamy, delicious, healthy breakfast that is easy to throw together at night and ready to eat in the morning.
This month I got to cook from two great blogs for the Secret Recipe Club. This recipe comes from Katie, This Chick Cooks. Katie has a great healthy blog. She cut out white flour, white sugar and focuses on eating more whole foods.
While I’m not ready to cut out white flour or white sugar, I am definitely trying to eat more whole foods. Becky, Vintage Mixer, recently posted Strawberry Rhubarb Oatmeal and Farro in a Jar that I’ve been wanting to try, so when I saw Katie’s Strawberry Refrigerator Oats I knew it was time for me to try oatmeal in a jar.
Katie’s overnight method couldn’t be easier. You just mix it up the night before, no cooking, and it’s ready to eat in the morning. It reminded me of the oatmeal that was served at many of the B&Bs we stayed at in Europe. A perfect way to start the day.

This is such a fantastic idea! I eat my favorite yogurt parfait about 4 times per week for breakfast and would love to try this variation to spice things up a little.

With summer bringing on insane temperatures, I’ve been thinking of something like this for a few days now – I’d seen this a while ago but hadn’t saved it. Now I can try this version! OOh, I can’t wait!
I’m hosting a giveaway over at my blog and would love for you to stop by and participate.

I am so glad you posted this, Barbara. I have seen people talk about oats in a jar before, but this is the first actual recipe I have seen. I love yogurt with something carby in it so I am definitely trying this. This is great for summertime with all of the fresh berries we have!

Barbara,
I’m so glad you enjoyed the oats. Your take on it looks delicious and your photos are so pretty. Have a nice day!
Claire @ Claire K Creations
My friend makes something similar to this with grated apple and it’s delicious. I’ll have to give it a go with berries. I always miss my oats in summer so what a great way to eat them cold.
Barbara
I love the idea of grated apple. I’ll have to try that soon. Thanks Claire.

I love soaking raw oats. Sometimes I just soak them in almond milk for 15-20 minutes int eh refrigerator before I eat them! This is perfect for the summertime! Thanks for the link too 🙂
Alison @ Ingredients, Inc

Yum, it sounds great, and is a nice way to eat oatmeal in the summer when it’s hot and hot cereal isn’t so appealing. Thank you for adopting group A’s orphan, you’re the best!
