This Lemon Poppy Seed Overnight Oatmeal is a nutritious breakfast in a jar that tastes like a dessert.
Of all the overnight oatmeal recipes I have tried, this Lemon Poppy Seed Overnight Oatmeal is my favorite. It is easy to get hooked on the rich lemony flavor from the lemon zest and yogurt. It’s so addicting, it could make you test positive for drugs! Actually, poppy seeds can do that apparently (and they can be easily left out if you are worried about random drug tests). This oatmeal stays good for several days in the refrigerator, so you can make it ahead of time to have a breakfast on the go during the work or school week.
