Lazy oatmeal in a jar - basic recipe
- oatmeal, necessarily requiring cooking;
- classic yoghurt, no fruit fillers;
- milk, preferably with a minimum fat content or completely skimmed;
- a container with a lid of 0, 4 or 0, 5 liters.
1. We add all the ingredients to the container, including additives according to our own taste. Instead of sugar, you can use substitutes - this will significantly reduce the calorie content of the finished dish.
2. Close the lid tightly and shake it several times to mix all the contents together.
3. Put the oatmeal in the refrigerator overnight.
During this time, the flakes will be soaked in milk, yogurt, additives and the porridge will become tender, fragrant. In the morning, a nutritious breakfast is ready! Oatmeal should be consumed within a few days. It is additives that play an important role in taste. So, porridge with a banana does not lose its taste even after standing for 4 days.
Many may have questions after reading. Here are some answers to the most popular ones that come up when you get to know this rather unusual recipe for making the usual oatmeal.
Can oatmeal jars be frozen?
Sure you may! But for a certain period - no more than 30 days. There is also one important rule - jars of oatmeal should not be too full, otherwise they may explode when the chilled liquid expands. It is optimal to fill the container to 3/4 of the total volume.
The product should be defrosted gradually: first, a jar of oatmeal is placed on the refrigerator shelf and defrosted a little. Then it will be ready to eat.
Is the use of glass containers essential and why?
The use of glass containers is not a prerequisite for this recipe. You can take any container of a suitable volume. It is optimal to use food containers that are tightly closed with a lid and are excellent for transportation.
Any experimentation with the recipe is appreciated. If you also enrich the dish with fresh fruit, you will not get oatmeal, but the food of the Gods!
