ADDITIONAL INFO

Some people think of oats as a hot cereal perfect for when leaves start falling or there’s snow on
the ground, but I love them all year round. In our house, we call this version Summertime
Oatmeal because it’s a cool and refreshing way to enjoy oatmeal even when it’s sweltering
outside. Prepare it the night before and spoon the goodness into jars for a quick and easy
breakfast.
