Supplies
INGREDIENTS:
- Oats
- Milk of choosing
- Cheesecake Jello Pudding Mix
- Vanilla Extract
- Strawberries
TOOLS:
- Cutting Board
- Knife
- Spoon to stir
- Measuring Cup
- Something to Store the Oats in (I used a Mason Jar)
Measure Out Oats
STEP 1: Measure out 1/2 cup of oats. (Or 64 grams). Once you measure it out, pour the oats into the container, or Mason Jar, that you are using to store the overnight oats in.
In this recipe, I used Kroger brans Old Fashioned Oats that were $1.79 at Kroger. You may use any oats that you like but these were in my budget and taste the same to me.
Measure Out Milk
STEP 2: Measure our 1 cup (128 grams) of your choice of milk. Once measured, pour it into the same container that the oats are in. Stir the milk and the oats to combine everything together.
I used Vanilla Soy milk from Kroger, which was $3.29. It is more expensive than normal milk, but if you have a milk are dairy allergy, use your prefered milk. If you do not and you do care about how much you are spending, buy a store brand half gallon of milk which is around $2.49 at Kroger.
Add Vanilla
STEP 3: Add about a teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
I used two cap fulls in this one which is about a teaspoon.
The vanilla is from Kroger which was around $1.99
Add Jello Powder
STEP 4: Add a heaping tablespoon of Cheesecake Jello Pudding Powder into the same mixture as everything else. Stir until well combined.
I used the Cheesecake one to give it a different flavor, I am sure that the chocolate or Vanilla would be very good in this recipe as well. The pudding was $1.19 at Kroger.
Place in Fridge Overnight
STEP 5: Place the oat mixture in the fridge overnight until the morning. If you are in a rush in the next morning, continue to step 6. If you are not, you can do step 6 in the morning.
Cut Up Strawberries
STEP 6: If you are in a rush, cut up the strawberries after you put the oats in the fridge. I like to cut up my strawberries into smaller bitesized pieces, but it is completely up to you. Cut up 3-4 Strawberries and put in container, not the same one as the oat mixture, and wait until morning.
IF YOU ARE NOT IN RUSH, COMPLETE THIS STEP IN THE MORNING
Add Strawberries and Enjoy :)
STEP 7: Add the strawberries to the top and enjoy your delicious, and easy, homemade overnight oats.
