Oatmeal Jars are so convenient & versatile for busy mornings!

Oatmeal Jars are so convenient & versatile for busy mornings!

Simply fill with HOT milk or water…finish getting ready for the day….grab & GO!
--------------------------


Prep ahead:

Use Pint glass canning jars to ensure that you will have room for your liquid & stirring.

The photo shows 1/2 pint jars that were assembled for my children using smaller 1/3 cup portions of rolled oats.
■  Add 1/2 cup dry rolled/old fashioned oats to the bottom of the glass jar. (note: this method will NOT work with steel-cut oats)
■  Add your favorite flavor combos.
■  Seal tightly, and store in the pantry until ready to use. (For freshest flavor use within 10 days)

Prepping “Instant” Oatmeal Jars

When ready to SERVE:
■  Pour 1 cup BOILING HOT water, or milk (unsweetened almond, coconut, or cashew milk are favs at our house) into each jar. (note:  These jars can handle the heat because they are made for canning & high heat)
■  Let sit for 10-20 minutes(depending on the consistency you like), while you finish your morning routine.
■  Grab a spoon, and enjoy on-the-GO!
