1. Strawberry Overnight Refrigerator Oatmeal, Two versions!
“My personal favorite is this Strawberry Overnight Refrigerator Oatmeal, I am giving you two recipes for it because there is the “healthy” version and then the version that I usually make which isn’t all that healthy but… who am I kidding? It is just better. Period. Both are great though, I just PERSONALLY prefer it without yogurt.” – Wheel n Deal Mama
2. Overnight Oatmeal Recipe
“Here is an easy way to serve a crowd a hearty breakfast before facing the elements for a day of winter sports. You can assemble it in the slow cooker in the evening and wake up to a bowl of hot, nourishing oatmeal. The slow cooker eliminates the need for constant stirring and ensures an exceptionally creamy consistency. It is important to use steel-cut oats; old-fashioned oats become too soft during slow-cooking.” – Eating Well
3. Overnight Oatmeal Recipe
“Most of my crockpot recipes are dinner-oriented (well, except for that cake. Which I would happily eat for dinner, but that’s just me.) This oatmeal recipe also makes a fantastic comfort food dinner recipe, but it’s my only crockpot recipe that is perfection for breakfast. ” – Framed Cooks
4. Slow Cooker Overnight Oatmeal Recipe

“This, my friends, is one of the easiest recipes that tastes out of this world. Overnight Fridge Berry Oatmeal is perfect for breakfast or a snack and you can customize it to suit your tastes. I consider this pretty healthy, so I don’t feel guilty eating something that tastes so decadent. Using frozen berries is important because as they melt overnight, they create a wonderful juice that you just can’t get with fresh berries. So when you’re rushing to get the kids ready for school or you’re late for work- breakfast is already waiting for you in the fridge!” – Busy Mommy
6. Cherry Overnight Oatmeal Recipe
“I love recipes like this for breakfast because it requires almost no clean up and is ready when you roll out of bed. My days start early with a long list of things to do so having something in the fridge waiting for me is key.

The Petite Creme Vanilla Bean Yogurt goes perfectly in overnight oats to help add flavor and texture.” – A Cedar Spoon
7. Overnight Oatmeal In A Jar Recipe (A No Cook Breakfast) Recipe

8. Easy Overnight Oatmeal
“My morning goes like this 4:30: get up, get dressed, run, finish run and stretch, check blog emails, start breakfast for boys, shower, dress, start boys lunches and finish making breakfast, wake boys, feed them, finish packing their lunches and help them finish getting ready, take them to school. We have it down to the minute and there is no extra time for me to make myself breakfast (and no I don’t want to have biscuits or pancakes with them). Being able to grab a protein shake or Overnight Oatmeal is ideal. Actually, after trying it, I love it. It’s my new obsession. I also have it for a mid-afternoon snack a lot of days.” – Call me PMc

“For months my blog reader has been filled with various versions of overnight oats. From Pumpkin Spice to Orange Cashew, overnight oats are everywhere.

Amazing, fabulous, incredible, irresistible, and perhaps even spectacular.” – Liv Life
11. Overnight Oatmeal
“Overnight oatmeal couldn’t be simpler to prepare and is mega satisfying.

12. Black-Bottom Banana Cream Pie Overnight Oatmeal
“Ever since making a banana cream pie overnight oatmeal, I’ve wanted to make its chocolate cousin.

You can use stevia as well.” – iFood Real

“Overnight oatmeal is a magical creation. It literally prepares itself. You throw the ingredients in a mason jar (or any sealable container), mix them up, and the oats absorb the liquids overnight, making them soft and pudding-like. No cooking necessary!
