How to Make Mason Jar Oatmeal Recipe
Layer the Oats
Grab a clean mason jar (about 16 oz or 500 ml capacity).
Start by adding half of the rolled oats to the bottom of the jar. These oats will absorb the liquid and soften overnight.
Add the Liquid
Pour the almond milk over the oats. You can adjust the amount of milk based on your desired consistency. Some like it thicker, while others prefer it more liquidy.
Give it a gentle stir to ensure the oats are fully submerged.
Top with Goodness
Sprinkle the fresh blueberries over the oats. They add natural sweetness and a burst of antioxidants.
Next, add the toasted almonds. These provide a delightful crunch and healthy fats.
Drizzle the honey over the top. The sweetness will balance out the tartness of the berries.
Finally, sprinkle the ground cinnamon—it’s like a warm hug for your taste buds.
Seal and Refrigerate
Screw the lid onto the mason jar tightly.
Pop it into the refrigerator and let the magic happen overnight. The oats will absorb the almond milk, and the flavors will meld together.
Morning Bliss
In the morning, give the jar a little shake or stir to mix everything up.
Unscrew the lid, take a deep breath, and enjoy your wholesome mason jar oatmeal.
You can eat it straight from the jar or transfer it to a bowl if you prefer.
