I love this idea
Sharon Boorkman says
Love this idea. Are those mini mason jars you put the oatmeal in?
Dawn says
Yes! Those are mason jars. You can make one big batch & just scoop it from a container or you can make these individual grab & go versions! OMYUM!
Sharon Boorkman says
Awesome…Thanks!
Lisa says
I see that these are 130 calories per cup. Does this include the toppings?
Dawn says
The 130 calories if for the oatmeal only, it doesn’t include toppings. I gave you some HEALTHY & FUN topping suggestions, but you can top with whatever you want. 😉
Laura Rowe says
Does this keep a few days in the fridge?
Dawn says
Yes! Overnight oats last 5 days in the fridge so it’s perfect to make ahead for a week of quick grab & go breakfasts…use the same toppings everyday or change it up!
Laura says
Thanks, Dawn! I’m also going to try this with quinoa flakes & kefir.
Laura says
Can you warm this up as well?
Dawn says
Absolutely! It’s good right from the fridge or heated! xx
