Easy Overnight Oatmeal Recipes

If your mornings are anything like mine they’re probably a whirlwind of chaos, trying to convince children to get out of bed and into their clothes so you have a cat in heck’s chance of getting out of the door on time.

And when somethings gotta give it can often be breakfast that gets skipped.

But we really don’t want that to happen because eating first thing in the morning helps our brains be more alert (especially for children) and makes us less likely to snack on junk food to get us through to lunch time.

Oh and did you also know that when you don’t eat breakfast your brain tricks your body into thinking you’re in starvation mode, and your body holds onto fat instead of burning it?

If that’s not a good reason to eat breakfast I do not know what is!

So how do we eat a healthy breakfast when we don’t really have time to stop and make it?

Simple.

We make overnight oatmeal the night before, and it’s all ready for us to munch on before we run out of the door.

Or we could even eat it in the car!

The best part about overnight oatmeal is that you prepare it the night before.

So when you get up in the morning and you have a million things to do before you can get yourself and the kids out of the house on time breakfast is right there, sitting in the fridge, just waiting to be eaten!

And if you’re thinking, yeah but oatmeal is oatmeal and the kids will get bored of it quite quickly then you need to keep reading.

Because I went down a Pinterest rabbit hole (shh don’t tell hubby!) and found one whole month’s worth of easy overnight oatmeal recipes!

Yep, 31 scrumptious ways you can serve oatmeal for breakfast, so you’re sure to find a few new family favourites in there somewhere.

Quick, go find the oats!

One whole month of overnight oats ideas that even your toddler will enjoy eating! That's your breakfast meal planning sorted! #mealplan #mealprep

31. Strawberry Overnight Refrigerator Oatmeal, Two versions!

YUM - This Strawberry overnight oatmeal tastes YUMMY!

“My personal favorite is this Strawberry Overnight Refrigerator Oatmeal, I am giving you two recipes for it because there is the “healthy” version and then the version that I usually make which isn’t all that healthy but… who am I kidding?

“Here is an easy way to serve a crowd a hearty breakfast before facing the elements for a day of winter sports. You can assemble it in the slow cooker in the evening and wake up to a bowl of hot, nourishing oatmeal. The slow cooker eliminates the need for constant stirring and ensures an exceptionally creamy consistency. It is important to use steel-cut oats; old-fashioned oats become too soft during slow-cooking.” – Eating Well

We have it down to the minute and there is no extra time for me to make myself breakfast (and no I don’t want to have biscuits or pancakes with them).
