Overnight Oatmeal Two ways from Pepper Lynn.  As makers of stone ground oats we love the versatility of oatmeal.  We’re always looking for creative recipes and uses to pass along.

This recipe uses chia seeds and you could certainly use flax seeds as well.  These are great for families on the go, giving the kids a great nutritional start to the day that takes basically no prep time.

Until then enjoy these overnight oatmeal sensations:
