Reviews
It was overly sweet. I think possibly this could be because my measurements may have been off a bit. I was trying to divide all the ingredients so that I was making only a single serving. Either way I think it definitely embodies dessert for breakfast.
I have followed this recipe and it is my go to base for overnight oatmeal based on preferences. I use less cinnamon and no nutmeg. I do add a little vanilla. I double the recipe and have breakfast for the week. We prefer walnut and blueberry. I could it it everyday and don’t tire of it.
Just like a loaf of banana bread! I halved the recipe for a very very full 500mL jar and did not add yogurt in the morning.
I just made it and I going to eat tomorrow morning for my breakfast. Exciting to eat
Love to make this to have on hand for a yummy breakfast that is ready to go in the morning.
With any of these, texture can be an issue, but my 3yo and I really enjoyed this! It is easy to make (especially with my kid) and can be “dressed up” with other toppings that you have on hand. We used blue berries and it was great. Next time I might up the cinnamon for my personal taste, but overall a good recipe!
So yummy! We used peaches in place of bananas and added a tad more sugar. Our whole family liked it!
