It’s gonna be a scorcher today – break out the cold oats!
Overnight “cooked” and freezing cold!
Typical overnight oats base but with fresh blackberries instead of banana, plus granola on top for that final crunch.
Served with hot tea –
And an unhappy Pumpkin who got reprimanded for climbing the screens!
Have a wonderful Wednesdays!
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
I’m not looking forward to this heat today! I’m glad you are keeping cool. It’s already in the 70’s this morning where I live.
Happy Wednesday! 🙂
Jordan @ Bake Write Sleep says
What kind of tea is that? I’m obsessed with Teavana right now and can’t quit giving them my entire paycheck…
KathEats says
Adagio Peach!
The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh says
It’s supposed to be grossly hot here today too. This is why I loathe summer. How many days until Fall?
Aww, naughty kitty! 😉
KathEats says
Soak it up!! Remember the winter!!
Elisabeth says
That’s my philosophy! I hate winter & will take summer any day instead (especially with air conditioning…ha!). I’m in northwestern Ohio & it was 98 here yesterday & supposed to be the same today. Love it! 🙂
Becka @simplybecka says
Your overnight oats recipes are the best! Thanks for all the wonderful information you blog and inspiration. I am new reader but I am here daily via my RSS reader. Have a cool day. ^_^
KathEats says
Welcome Becka!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Yummm! We’re getting a cooker here today as well so it’s a green smoothie for me! Happy Humpday Kath! 🙂
Paula says
I’ll be the bearer of the bad news here. Pumpkin will destroy your screens by climbing on them. We had a screened porch on our last house that kept our cat an “indoor” cat. He climbed the screens to chase bugs and lizards and made a huge mess. We had to replace all the screen before we sold the house. Get a spray bottle of water (plain water will not hurt him) and spritz him when he starts climbing. I dearly lost my cat but when they start doing something wrong, it is a big job to stop it.
KathEats says
I know 🙁 I’m using a stern voice, but perhaps we do need to start on water
Johanna B says
I’ve used the water approach as well. It works. Cats don’t mix well with screens.
Karen says
and when you squirt him…hiss at him too…the way they hiss at you to warn you off.
Andrea says
My cat loves water haha
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Pumpkin is so cute. I had a cat that used to climb screens. Get a spray bottle and squirt him with water any time he does it. He will stop! 🙂
Kait - @runkaitrun says
YUM! blackberries sounds delicious. It’s super hot here today as well… debating if a run is still possible or not. Stay cool!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I’m having the polar opposite breakfast today…hot pumpkin vanilla oats while dreaming of fall! Have a great day Kath!
KathEats says
hahah – that does sound good!
Caroline @ After Dinner Dance says
Ooo I had overnight oats with blackberries yesterday and my blackberries hadn’t completely thawed in the morning but they were cold and delicious!
Anna @ On Anna's Plate says
Hahaha…and that’s why I’ll never own another cat!! 🙂
Kristin says
Kath! I had the same breakfast of overnight oats in the same almost empty jar 🙂 with hot tea! It’s supposed to be a scorcher in Milwaukee today too. 94 degrees!!!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
I’ve never put blackberries in my oats, sounds delicious!
Alex says
Aww…poor Pumpkin… he just wants your company 🙂
Katie says
Stay cool Kath! Being hot and pregnant can be uncomfortable. I remember my belly itching when it got hot and sweaty. Do you have access to a pool?
Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
We are on a high humidex alert here! The AC is on…stepped outside into a steam bath…made for a very short run! I had a berrilicious cold oats breakfast today…I keep meaning to put together your overnight oats at night and then forget…so I have to come up with my own quick morning version…not bad! Looking at a cold salad for lunch and cold leftover salmon for dinner…just steeping some tea for cold tea this afternoon! Bring on the heat!
Heather (Cake and Green Beans) says
Looks delish! How do you have so many almost empty nut butter jars??
KathEats says
I have a lot going at once – I’ve been working on this almond butter for months.
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
overnight oats is the PERFECT warm weather breakfast!! i’m loving your combo this morning with the blackberries, almond butter, and granola.
Meghan says
I really need to get in on this overnight oats craze – boy am I late to the party!
Cait's Plate says
I find granola is a must on overnight oats – it helps balance out the texture perfectly 🙂
Jennifer says
Try a squirt gun with water. Just spritz him once when you catch him on the screens and eventually he’ll stop.
I have to tell you this morning my son had a glass of fresh-squeezed juice and a bowl of fruit. I told him that was a nice, healthy breakfast and he said “Now, Jonathan eats real food.” (haha) I certainly wasn’t expecting that response. You’re becoming popular with the kids. 🙂
Enjoy your hot day!
KathEats says
Awww!
Emily Butler says
I keep forgetting to put together some overnight oats for this hot weather! maybe I’ll remember tonight!
Jen says
Great action shot of the cat!! But yikes, she’s going to tear up your screens or door. Maybe talk to the neighbors about keeping her on their side? I guess you don’t have a fence though?
KathEats says
We have a fence but pumpkin can climb!
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
Blueberries and cottage cheese in my oat mix this morning – tastes like cheesecake! 🙂
Amanda @flecksofgreen says
Overnight Oats sound so cold and refreshing right about now– And it’s barely 10am! This heat is crazy today!
Melissa says
My Mom used to place a few moth balls along our screened-in porch to discourage feline visitors from climbing our screens. It seemed to work for her, might be worth a try??
KathEats says
OH interesting! Although I also despise the smell of moth balls 🙂
Cathy says
Stick with the WATER….it will only work though when you see Pumpkin climbing. 🙁 Not when you are away. Cute baby bump Kath.
mary @ minutespermile says
cute tea towel!! i also enjoyed some cold oats this AM.
Laura Lea says
Gosh I am so jealous of your beautiful Virginia morning breakfasts! And Pumpkin looks so pitiful. It kinda seems like he likes y’all more than his owners!
Roxanne says
I like the bicycle on your tea towel. Did you get a set or just that one?
KathEats says
Just the one – it’s from Oh Little Rabbit on Etsy
Roxanne says
I went to the website, pretty cool stuff! They even have a bicycle on the baby’s onesie!
KathEats says
Yeah! I love all of her stuff
Janelle says
I love overnight oats with berries… especially eating banana makes me feel sick. 🙁
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
Stay cool in this hot weather! Maybe swimming! 🙂
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
Now that’s what I call overnight oats! Yummy!
Heather Chantelau says
I had my first overnight oats this morning! Delicious. Thanks for the recommendation. I didn’t even taste the yogurt. Can’t wait to have them again tomorrow morning.
KathEats says
Woo hoo!! It’s the best summer breakfast 🙂
Annette @FitnessPerks says
I have a nut butter jar that is almost gone….I should do OIAJ!
Alyssa (pb and oatmeal) says
Sounds like a great way to start out the day 🙂
Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning says
The photo of Pumpkin is hilarious!! What a determined little guy.
BTW, I’m heading back down to C’ville on July 1st. Will you be in town? I’ll be sure to make a quick stop by the bakery!
KathEats says
I’ll be here!
Ashley @ Hudson on the Potomac says
Oh no Pumpkin! My cat used to do that at my parents house, she was reprimanded as well!
Angel7 says
Cold oats… Great way to start a hot day!

Fran@ Broken Cookies Don't Count says
Can’t beat overnight oats!
Lexi @ You, Me, & A World to See says
Almond butter vs. peanut butter in OO is so hard! I love them both 😉
