Overnight Oatmeal Recipe from Chef Malena

You’ve probably heard of overnight oatmeal already. I think I first made it about 2 years ago, and it’s almost always done in a jar. But there’s no reason you can’t just use any kind of container for your oatmeal!

Chef Malena brought ingredients for one of her favorite combinations and we put it in a 2 cup container. Some people may find the yogurt to make their oatmeal too thick. In that case, you can always use less yogurt and more milk, adjusting to your liking.
