Honey Steel Cut Overnight Oats

I was going to name this post something cute , but I just did not have it in me. I had ideas but all typed out they look so lame and then when I said them out loud it was even worse. I am just going to keep it super simple and call it what it is. Though I could have called it the best breakfast/snack/lunch/dinner you will ever have the pleasure of making AND eating. This recipe is so easy and so yummy and I'm pretty sure it's healthy too.

Overnight oats are becoming a bit of an obsession of mine. I have been pinning recipes for months and just failing to commit. I do love oatmeal and I make quick oats all the time because its easy and filling, but I only like my oatmeal with milk so I have to be patient when I'm heating it up. That in itself is a process and because I make my own oatmeal mix I have to put all the stuff together and that's just not the business. I needed something quick so I finally committed and boy aren't I glad I did. So get ready to throw some amazingness in a bowl and have it waiting for you when you wake from your slumber.

Ingredients:

1/2 c milk (I used organic whole milk)
1/2 c steel cut oat
1 c honey greek yogurt*
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp organic honey

* Honestly you can use what ever flavor you prefer to make this work with anything. Honey is what I love and I had it on hand so it worked out for me. I'm not here to stunt your creativity, you do you.

Directions:


  • In a medium sized bowl combine you milk, oats, yogurt, brown sugar and honey. Mix them all together and it should look kind of like porridge. 
  • Place that container in the fridge for 4 to 6 hours or overnight 
  • ENJOY!!!
















If you prefer you can sort the mixture out into separate containers so you can grab and go in the morning, but I like mine all together. 
You can also heat it up, but its really good cold too and the great thing about how basic this recipe is that you can add whatever toppings you like. I added some bananas, but again you do you. 


Hope you enjoy this as much as I did!!
