Steel Cut Overnight Oats!

Ok, confession time... I love canning jars! and I like anything that saves me from thinking too hard before I've consumed my morning cup of coffee. So what could be better than this recipe?!?!!


These can be eaten cold, straight from the jar, but I prefer them hot. They can also me made several days in advance & make a fast, healthy breakfast! Below is the basic recipe. You can change it up to suit your tastes and what you have on hand- use regular milk instead of coconut milk, flavored yogurt, rolled oats instead of steel cut, flax seed meal instead of chia seeds... And you can stir in anything that floats your boat... Nut butters, honey or jam instead of date paste, chocolate chips, dried fruit... The possibilities are endless! I hope you'll try it and let me know what you think!
