The Frugal Pantry: Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oatmeal #PeanutButterDay

Overnight Oatmeal. You may have seen or heard of these "new" no cook versions of oatmeal. You mix them the night before, let them sit in the refrigerator overnight and in the a.m. you have oatmeal ready to eat. Now this is not meant to be an exact version of warm, fresh cooked oatmeal.

This is a busy morning, need to dash out the door, still want to eat healthy version that is worth exploring.

Today I share with you two recipes that I happen to like.

Jan's Tip: Feel free to play with the ingredients a little. I am using soy milk, but almond milk or regular milk is just fine! I use a littel ground flax seed for added fiber, but Chia seeds, or chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans are DELISH!
