These easy overnight oatmeal cups come together fast with just a few healthy ingredients. Whip them up the night before to make breakfast a breeze!
I don’t know how things are in your house, but in our house weekday mornings are the WORST. Trying to get my kids up and out the door on time five days a week is just about enough to drive me insane.
This means that anything that can help our mornings run just a little tiny bit smoother is a huge win in my book. Bonus points for being healthy and delicious (and cute!)
My kids love these little oatmeal cups, and I love them because they literally take seconds to throw together in the evening, while saving us at least 20 precious minutes of frustration in the morning. You can use whatever fruit or berries you have on hand, or use flavored yogurt to mix it up even more.
Any way you throw it together, it is the breakfast sanity saver that might just change your life!
And now to actually make it to school on time….

I give my children oatmeal and yogurt and fruits, too in the morning since they were babies.
But since my son hates fruits I put everything in the mixer.
The fruits are so sweet that I don’t have to add any other sugar.
They love their breakfast-mash.
They don’t want bread, they don’t want rolls, they want breakfast-mash.
And it is soo healthy!
Just plain yogurt, apples and oatmeal.
These would be great for our busy mornings. A nice healthy breakfast that is super quick.
The kids could choose their own toppings to add in the morning to make them personalized for each one. Thank you for the idea!
These look great! I have made some without yogurt and just milk and they warm up very easily and taste great. I will have give it a try with the yogurt added. Thanks for the recipe!
Do you just eat it cold?
Yes, You can eat it cold or warm it for a few seconds in the microwave before you add the fruit. You might need to add a little more milk to the jar before heating it up.
Great idea! Question, though – what is the purpose of shaking the jar to combine the mix when you’ve already mixed everything in the bowl beforehand?
Shaking the jars helps ensure that all the oatmeal is covered and combined with the milk and yogurt mixture.:)
