This is a great recipe for people on the go. You mix up a few ingredients in a mason jar and let soak overnight. In the morning you stir, add some fresh fruit and toasted nuts and you have a tasty nutritious breakfast that can travel with you to work. We have had many a taster tells us they love this much better than standard hot oatmeal. Give it a try.
