Raspberry Lemonade Overnight Oatmeal
Have you tried overnight refrigerator oatmeal yet?
It’s a pretty great concept, especially in the summertime. Most days–thanks to the fabulous invention of the air conditioner–I wake up eager for a warm bowl of oatmeal, regardless of the temperature outside. Some days, however, are quite the opposite, and a cold, ready-to-go jar of delicious, silky oatmeal is the perfect compromise.
Actually, compromise seems like a poor word choice. It implies settling for something less than the original. I would say that overnight oatmeal isn’t less than the stove top; it’s just different. Equally awesome for different reasons.

Banana Cream Pie Overnight Oatmeal
Banana Cream Pie is one of my favorite desserts…but only when it’s made correctly (aka homemade). I hate when people just whip up Jell-O banana pudding and stick it on top of a store-bought crust, and then squirt some canned whipped cream on top. It’s absolutely insulting!
I’ve wanted to create a banana cream pie oatmeal for a while now, but I wasn’t quite sure how to go about it. Would it just be a regular banana oatmeal with extra vanilla extract? Would I top it with something (banana soft serve? coconut whipped cream? soy yogurt?) to resemble the “cream?”
But then I got THIS idea. And it’s PERFECT. Banana Cream Pie should be cold, anyway, NOT hot! Plus, I like to think of overnight refrigerator oatmeal more like “oatmeal pudding,” and pudding is exactly what I wanted this oatmeal to resemble!
