Grape Salad Overnight Oatmeal
I’m not positive about this one, but this is probably another crazy Midwestern thing. We just LOVE take fruit, stirring in cream cheese, and calling it a salad. Hey, at least this one doesn’t have marshmallows!
Grape salad was first introduced to me by my godparents. They brought it to some celebration we were having at my house (perhaps my sister’s confirmation or something??). Cripes, this stuff is good. It consists of red and green grapes coated in a mixture made of cream cheese, sour cream, and a little brown sugar. It sounds pretty terrible written out like that (especially to someone like me who hates sour cream), but it’s truly divine.
Peach and Blueberry Overnight Oatmeal
First there was Peach & Blueberry Oatmeal. Then Peach & Blueberry Oatcakes. Now, I present Peach & Blueberry Overnight Oatmeal. Three cheers for the best fruit combo known to mankind! (Or can you nominate a better one?)
I made my version diced, but I bet it would be marvelous with pureed peaches (if you’re okay with dirtying your blender).

Applesauce Overnight Oatmeal
If you’ve tried (and enjoyed) my Applesauce Oatmeal, you will likely appreciate today’s recipe. It’s truly one of my easiest recipes in the history of EVER.
Also, it tastes wonderful. I kid you not, this oatmeal tastes like straight-up apple pie. It’s one of the few recipes that I eat cold (I have a bias for hot porridge), but only because I am so desperate to shovel it in my mouth as fast as I can.

3 New Overnight Oat Recipes!
Overnight oatmeal has been my “thing” for a few months now, which inevitably resulted in me creating recipes that were never shared with you. Most of them align with my stove-top recipes, so I didn’t feel too guilty about it. However, lately, I’ve been enjoying these so much that I just had to put them on your radar!

Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oatmeal
I hope the surge of overnight oat recipes is appreciated. I’ve been shaking them up quite frequently this month! I believe they are perfect for this time of year; many mornings in New Jersey are hot and muggy, and steaming oatmeal doesn’t always appeal to me then. In those times, I really crave a refreshing, cool, creamy oatmeal.
You can really tinker with this recipe. Add chocolate chips, use dried strawberries, slice in a banana, etc. It’s an incredibly basic recipe that you could adapt to your liking. You could even swap in real cream, if your lifestyle allows it. I’ll stick to my almond milk. 🙂

Almond Berry Overnight Oatmeal
What’s the general consensus on almond extract? Sometimes, I truly love it. It’s dynamite in my Pear and Almond Baked Oatmeal and killer in Almond Joy Oatmeal. Other times, I can’t help but be a little peeved by it. I mean, it doesn’t actually taste like almonds, in my opinion.
Anyway, the perk of almond extract is that it steals the show, meaning it’s perfect for a “hidden banana” recipe. I make this overnight recipe whenever I’m in the mood for a creamy and fruity porridge, but I’m not in the mood for the taste of bananas. (Lately, I’ve filled this need with my Lemon Drop Oatmeal, but hey, it’s good to have options!)

Key Lime Pie Overnight Oatmeal
Question: how necessary are key limes for a key lime pie? Would anyone be offended if I used, say, your average lime? Because that’s what I did, and I’m not apologizing for it.
Since my Strawberry Limeade Oatmeal turned out so well, I thought I’d stick with the lime theme and test this Key Lime Pie Oatmeal. It’s citrusy, vibrant, and ever so creamy, thanks to the addition of coconut yogurt.

Strawberry Limeade Overnight Oatmeal
This week, I did something I’ve never done before: I purchased a fresh lime.
Gasp! I know, I know. That’s pathetic. Using fresh limes and lemons was never something my family opted to do. We used those sketchy bottled juices and called it good. Recently, living with my roommate Allison has taught me the value in using fresh citrus. First of all, the taste is unmatched and incredibly bright and refreshing. Furthermore, it’s cheap!! Sure, I will continue to have the bottles on hand for unexpected citrus needs, but I will be turning to fresh limes and lemons more often.
The lime was purchased for this recipe. I’ll be honest – I was exceptionally nervous about its result. I tried a similar recipe once upon a time, but I did not blend the strawberries and citrus together, and the strawberry became unpleasantly sour, to the point that it tasted nearly rotten! As it turns out, blending the fruit together before letting it sit overnight cures this fluke. Don’t ask me why; I’m an artist, not a scientist. 🙂

Honeydew Overnight Oatmeal
For the most part, I have transitioned beautifully to urban life. I love public transportation, bustling sidewalks, diverse eateries, and city parks surrounded by cement and skyscrapers. The one thing that continues to challenge me is grocery shopping.
I do not own a car in New Jersey, so I either walk or take public transit. I have several different grocery options, but all of which are at least a mile away. This is not a terrible walk, but it can get uncomfortable when I’m lugging heavy grocery bags. Thus, items like melons, squash, and big cartons of almond milk can be a pain.

Fruit-on-the-Bottom Oatmeal
I’ll be honest right from the start: I have never had (nor do I have the desire to try) fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt. First of all, it’s not available in nondairy varieties, so that’s an obvious deterrent. Moreso, the “fruit” on the bottom has been heavily processed and coated with sickeningly sweet high fructose corn syrup. Um, no.
Like most of my recipes, I’ve been eager to try this one for a while. It required me to have yogurt on hand, which I usually lack. Whenever I have it, I end up demolishing it before I can even attempt this or the other yogurt-demanding recipes.
