“Instant” Oatmeal Jars

Oatmeal Jars are so convenient & versatile for busy mornings!

Endless Flavor Combinations.

Simply fill with HOT milk or water…finish getting ready for the day….grab & GO!

The kids & I prepared an entire weeks worth of jars together.  We had a lot of fun creating our own unique mixes and combos!

Allowing the kids to make their own little weekly  “stash” of oat jars, sure makes mornings easier!

Prepping ahead saves SO much time, and ensures everyone always gets a healthy breakfast.

FLAVOR COMBINATION IDEAS:

I use all freeze dried fruit (no sugar added). It’s crunchy and sweet.

Freeze-dried fruit maintains all of it’s vital nutrients and vibrant flavor, making it a convenient shelf-stable healthy option.

(no refrigeration needed)

Apples & Cinnamon

• (1/4 cup freeze Dried Apples
•  1/4 tsp Cinnamon
• pinch of granulated stevia, or granulated sweetener of choice)

Raspberries & Dark Chocolate or Cacao Nibs

• 2 Tbsp dark chocolate chips or nibs)

Monkey Mix

• (1/4 cup freeze dried banana chips
•  1 Tbsp coconut flakes,
• 1 Tbsp dark chocolate chips or nibs)

 Triple Berry

• (1/4 cup freeze dried triple berry mix
• a pinch of granulated stevia, or granulated sweetener of choice)

 Blueberries & Cream

• (1/4 cup freeze dried blueberries
•  a pinch of powdered vanilla (huge health benefits in powdered compared to liquid extract)

 Peaches & Cream

Try adding your favorite chopped nuts, or a 1/2 scoop of protein powder to any of these varieties.

(THINK: Banana-Pecan, or Raspberry-Walnut! GET CREATIVE)

Instructions:

Use Pint glass canning jars to ensure that you will have room for your liquid & stirring.

The photo shows 1/2 pint jars that were assembled for my children using smaller 1/3 cup portions of rolled oats. 🙂

  Add 1/2 cup dry rolled/old fashioned oats to the bottom of the glass jar.

(note: this method will NOT work with steel-cut oats)

  Add your favorite flavor combos.

  Seal tightly, and store in the pantry until ready to use.

(For freshest flavor use within 10 days)

Prepping “Instant” Oatmeal Jars

 TO SERVE:

Pour 1 cup BOILING HOT water, or milk (unsweetened almond, coconut, or cashew milk are favs at our house) into each jar.

(note:  These jars can handle the heat because they are made for canning & high heat)

Let sit for 10-20 minutes(depending on the consistency you like), while you finish your morning routine.

Grab a spoon, and enjoy on-the-GO!

Enjoy!
