Last night I prepared some overnight oats in a mason jar of course, cause I love those things so much. I've tried a few recipes, this by far is my favorite - might be the chocolate in it :)
It's so simple too - combine the base ingredients, shake, add cinnamon & chocolate chips, close lid - place in fridge overnight and grab it on your way out. Stays good for up to 4 days - I've had at the 5th day too and still good - depends if you vacuum seal the jars, which I haven't had the opportunity to buy, given the fact that we have little counter space in our kitchen - Next house island in kitchen a must!
Anyway......here's what it looks like and the recipe follows - Enjoy!
