This Peanut Butter Trail Mix Refrigerator Oatmeal is an easy and delicious prep-ahead breakfast for busy mornings.
I am not a morning person. If I am going to choose between getting up to make breakfast and hitting snooze several more times, more sleep is always going to win. So I usually scan my pantry for anything I can eat as I am running out the door. I love overnight oatmeal because I can prepare it in the evening when I actually want to be awake, and it will be there waiting for me when I am rushing to work in the morning.
This Peanut Butter Trail Mix Refrigerator Oatmeal is one of my absolute favorite recipes. I think the combination of sweetened vanilla almond milk and peanut butter tastes like a peanut butter shake, but much healthier! I added mini-chocolate chips, sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries, but you can add just about anything you would normally put in trail mix.
