I just discovered refrigerator steel cut oats! Take a small jar and put in 1/4 c steel cut oats and 1/4 c milk (I use fair life but almond or whatever you use) and some flavoring--fruit, Protein Powder, pumpkin purée, some SF Torani, Greek yogurt--shake it up and put it in the fridge overnight! In the morning top with some nuts or unsweetened coconut...YUM! Some add chia seeds which I don't like but I added flaxseed and will have that to try in the morning!

Overnight oats are a great way to food prep! You can do them 1 - 2 night in advance. If you use yogurt instead of milk, you can do 3 - 4 days in advance.

@@Indieflickers - I've done this. I bought pumpkin puree, not pie filling because that has a ton of additives and sugar. I used real maple Syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg & ground glove spices, orange zest andFAGE0% greek yogurt and rolled oats. YUM!

@@BLERDgirl that's basically the recipe I found too! Trying it tomorrow.

Trader joes has frozen steel oats and quinoa. Separate and mixed. Easier for quicker meals.

But I don't mind stirring the pot for ten minutes. Some of the only cooling i do ...except bake chicken and make a vege dish!
