I am not a morning person which means my children do not get hot cooked breakfasts. I often feel guilty about it and have been trying to think of some super easy alternatives to cereal. My youngest loves instant oatmeal but I know there are healthier options. I found a recipe for overnight refrigerator oatmeal on bellplantation.com using PB2 (powdered peanut butter) and chia seeds that sounded good so we gave it a whirl. The cool thing about this recipes is that you just mix everything together and stick it in the fridge overnight. In the morning all you have to do is microwave it and serve!
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup rolled oats
4 Tbs PB2
4 Tbs chia seeds
1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 1/3 cups favorite milk (skim, whole, almond, soy, coconut)
preferred sweetener (agave, honey, stevia, brown sugar) (to taste)
*optional: banana slices, raisins, cinnamon, unsweetened coconut, chocolate chips, cacao nibs
DIRECTIONS:
In a medium bowl combine PB2, oats, chia seeds and yogurt. Slow still in the milk then sweeten to taste. I left it as it was but added brown sugar after it was heated before serving. You can add the optional ingredients now or use them as toppings before serving. Cover the bowl and refrigerate 5-6 hours or overnight.
This recipe is low in fat and high in fiber, protein and healthy omegas. My kids actually prefer this recipe with regular yogurt instead of Greek. It isn’t as healthy but has less of that tartness that comes from the yogurt. I enjoyed the recipe as-is though and appreciated the health benefits!
