INGREDIENTS
  

  • 3 tablespoon cranberry sauce, divided
  • ½ cup old fashioned oats
  • ½ cup almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon sliced almonds
  • dash cinnamon, optional
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Step 1 - cranberry sauce base. Begin by placing 2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce in a glass container.
  • Step 2 - Greek yogurt. Layer with ¼ cup of Greek yogurt.
  • Step 3 - Oats. Add oats, followed by vanilla extract, and honey. Pour milk on top.
  • Step 4 - Chill. Seal the container and refrigerate it overnight.
  • Step 5 - Add toppings and serve. The next morning, top with 1 tablespoon of cranberry sauce, add almonds, and a pinch of cinnamon. If the oatmeal is too thick, you can add a dash of milk before adding toppings.

NOTES

  • This recipe is for one larger jar (10-12 ounces), suitable for a larger single serving, or for smaller servings. To make more, simply double the ingredients and repeat the steps for additional servings.
  • Keep in mind that the oats will expand by about 10%, so don't fill the jars all the way until the top. If you do, you may need larger jars.
  • Flavor: These cranberry oatmeal taste sweet, and tart, it's almost like having pie for breakfast!
  • Texture: cool, smooth, creamy, and slightly chewy. You can always add more milk to make them softer.
  • To Store: These overnight oats can be refrigerated for up to four days.
  • To Freeze: I don’t recommend freezing this but this could be an option. Frozen overnight oats can last up to 6 months, but their taste, texture, and quality will be affected over time.
