overnight oats jars
This recipe will give you the exact ratios to make overnight oats jars that are 8 oz. in size. I like this layered cherry pie version but you can customize the fruits, nuts, and toppings however you like!
Servings 2 x 8 oz jars
Calories 446kcal
Ingredients
- 1 C rolled oats (not quick cooking)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- pinch sea salt
- 1 C nondairy milk
- 1 C whole cherries pitted and roughly chopped
- ⅓ C pecans roughly chopped
- 2 tsp + 2 tsp maple syrup divided
- 2 tablespoon granola
Instructions
- Combine rolled oats, cinnamon, sugar, and nondairy milk in a bowl and set aside while you preprea the cherries and chop the pecans. Reserve about ¼ cup chopped cherries and ¼ cup chopped pecans for topping when serving.
- Place ¼ cup of oatmeal in the bottom of each jar ensuring you also have enough liquid to fully coat the oats. They will absorb most of this liquid while setting overnight. Add a layer of pecans then drizzle 1 teaspoon of maple syrup on top. Add cherries and top with the rest of the oatmeal. Cover with the jar lid and refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning top with reserved cherries, pecans and granola for an added crunch, drizzle with another 1 teaspoon each of maple syrup, if desired. You can eat it cold as the oats will be soft from soaking overnight or if you prefer, microwave the jar for 30 seconds to 1 minute before adding the additional toppings.
