What ages is this recipe appropriate for?

Depending on the skill level of your baby, this overnight oatmeal recipe can be appropriate from 6 months old all the way up to adults!

Can spoon-fed babies eat this recipe?

If your little one is spoon fed, you may need to modify the recipe to thin the texture by grinding the oats in a food processor first, or by using instant oats. You may also need to add a little milk in the morning. This recipe is appropriate for those in stage 2-3 of purees.

What type of oat is best to use?

I used rolled oats, also called old fashioned oats, because that is what I buy and use most often. You can also use quick oats or instant oats (plain) if that's what you have on hand or you want a little thinner oat for babies. Don't use steel cut or Irish oatmeal here. Tip: Because some oats can be contaminated with gluten, look for certified gluten-free oats if necessary for your diet.

Can babies eat oatmeal made with cow's milk?

How long do these oats last in the refrigerator?

These will last for 3-4 days sealed in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 1/4 cups milk
2 tbsp natural creamy peanut butter
1 cup rolled oats
1 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a large jar or other container with a lid (such as a quart size jar), mash the banana.
Stir in yogurt, milk and peanut butter until smooth.
Stir in oats, chia seeds and cinnamon.
Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours. If you'd like, you can portion your oatmeal out into individual jars before refrigerating.
In the morning, give it all a stir. Thin out with milk if necessary.

Notes

Warming: These are meant to be served cold, bit if you'd like to warm your oats up, heat individual portions for 30-60 seconds in a microwave-safe dish.

Ingredient Substitutions:

For allergies, swap the milk and yogurt for plant-based versions. Look for kinds higher in protein and made without added sugar.
Quick oats or instant oatmeal may be used for a finer texture.
You can use other creamy nut butters, such as almond butter or mixed nut butter.
If you don't like the texture of chia seeds, you can sub in ground flaxseed or just leave them out.

Storage: These keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
