Great recipe! I have made overnight oatmeal for over a year now and I just love it. I have been told that with the chia seeds and the yogurt overnight the cereal plumps up and actually gives you a "bigger looking" portion for the same calories. I use vanilla Greek Yogurt because of the added protein - and sprinkle it with cinnamon or apple pie spice to mix into cereal. For those afraid of cold oatmeal - it is perfectly healthy, but you CAN always microwave it for 2 min before serving. YUMMY!

The cold oatmeal idea seemed strange to me at first, but it isn't a mistake in the recipe. Some people call it summer oatmeal because it is a cool way to eat oatmeal when it is hot outside. My husband eats this type of oatmeal all the time. We usually use plain greek yogurt and flavor it anyway we want. He loves applesauce and cinnamon together and sliced bananas and cocoa powder. Also, we don't have chia seeds, but have used flax seed for health.

I was thinking the same thing, cold oatmeal???? I expected to see heat and serve in the directions.
