How to Make It

Start your morning off right with an easy, no-cook oatmeal jar.

1. Combine ingredients
   Add rolled oats, milk, yogurt, chopped peaches, almond butter, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt to a jar. Mix ingredients together thoroughly.

2. Seal and refrigerate
   Secure the lid on the jar and store oats in the refrigerator overnight (or at least 4 hours).

3. Stir and serve
   The next morning (or whenever you are ready to eat), remove the lid and stir the oats. If desired, add a splash of milk to thin the consistency.

4. Add toppings
   Enjoy the oats directly out of the jar or transfer them to a bowl. Top with fresh peaches, additional yogurt, almond butter, and granola as desired.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
