Easy Oatmeal Jars!



This has become one of my new favorite on the go breakfast items!  It is super easy to make a bunch of different variety oatmeal jars at one time for easy grabbing access all during the week.  I think the blueberry peach cobbler one is my favorite but it is hard to say, I also really like the apple pie version and the strawberry banana one, too :) Here is how to make them and you can get creative with whatever you want to add into them.

In a medium bowl stir together 2 cups uncooked regular oats, 1/4 cup chia seeds, 1/4 cup honey, 1 cup of low fat greek yogurt, 1 and 1/4 cup of low fat milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla.
* This is your base recipe to follow, then you can either add your fruits in now if you are making only one version or divide it evenly into however many versions you want to make and add your toppings in separately.  I split mine into 3 different bowls and this is what I added for each of my three versions.

Version 1: Blueberry Peach Cobbler

Stir in a decent amount of diced canned peaches and fresh blueberries, you can add a little of the peach syrup into it to for extra flavor.  Disperse evenly between your mason jars and put the lids on firmly.  Refrigerate overnight, good for up to 4 days, eat cold.


Version 2: Apple Pie

Stir in a decent amount of diced apples and a little bit of applesauce and cinnamon to taste. Disperse evenly between your mason jars and put the lids on firmly.  Refrigerate overnight, good for up to 4 days, eat cold.

Version 3: Strawberry Banana

Stir in a decent amount of diced strawberries and bananas, you can even add a little bit of strawberry jam if you want. Disperse evenly between your mason jars and put the lids on firmly.  Refrigerate overnight, good for up to 4 days, eat cold.
