Overnight oats in a jar is my favorite breakfast! Especially in a sunflower butter jar.
But not so fun for you because it’s just not very photogenic in any way!
Inside I had basic overnight oats recipe plus banana + blackberries.
Oh’s are the new granola!
I really wanted a cup of coffee on this dreary morning.
Rain
= bad for me
=good for these guys
So I settled on frothy Birthday Tea instead.
Frothed with my IKEA frother
Steeped in the Ingenuitea. Note I found this as a freebie surprise in a paid tea order from Adagio, but I’ve since discovered it’s the best tea steeper I’ve ever used.
Have a sunny Wednesday inside your head!
The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh says
I don’t know about that, look at that bright label! 🙂 Ooh…frothy! Enjoy your day!
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
I love the last picture! Enjoy this rainy day.
Antonia @ healthinspirations says
I have 2 very random questions for you. 1. Do you happen to know if there are any instructions out there of how to make your own lightroom templates. I’ve been playing around with mine but they don’t seem to work the way I want them to. Just thought I’d ask you since in my mind you’re a lightroom and photography expert 2. How do you come up with the titles of your posts? They are always so creative! Have a great day 🙂
KathEats says
Do you mean for layouts of photos? I created mine myself – they are tricky to do, but once you have them saved, you can use them over and over.
I have no idea on titles. Sometimes it’s the hardest part of a post!
Antonia @ healthinspirations says
I tried creating mine myself too…and failed. I created a couple of different templates but whenever I want to use them I have to use the same picture for the whole template i.e. if I want to add 4 DIFFERENT pictures in one template it will only allow the SAME picture 4 times. But I really don’t want to bother you with my Lightroom problems, just thought I’d ask!
KathEats says
I think your problem is in the first very box – “layout style.” Design your grid in custom package instead of single image/contact sheet
Antonia @ healthinspirations says
OK 🙂 Thanks for your help!
KhushbOo says
That froth looks heavenly!
Catalina @ Cake with Love says
I would love to taste the birthday tea, but I can’t find it, from where did you get yours?
KathEats says
Adagio – linked in the post
Catalina @ Cake with Love says
Thank you!
Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
Enjoying a sunny day here with a ‘bite’ in the air. Perfect for running! Love your oats in a jar! Photogenic or not…I bet they were tasty! Hope the weather clears up for you!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Oats in a jar always look good to me! I’m so close to getting some of my own… I may have to eat 1/2 C of PB somehow today. 🙂
Anna says
Make cookies! 🙂
Luci says
I LOVE my Ingenuitea!!! I use it every evening. So easy to use and I love the Adagio tea flavors too!
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
I love Oh’s, but have only had them on their own! Love the way you mix and match breakfast foods.
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
i couldn’t agree more! overnight oats is definitely my favorite breakfast, especially in a sunflower butter jar! yum.
Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning says
Who cares if overnight oats in a sunflower butter jar don’t look pretty- they taste better than pretty much any other breakfast I can think of!
I know the pollen sufferers (of which I am not one of, thank goodness) are rejoicing for the forecast over the next few days! And man, we do need the rain (even though I’m selfish and will complain that I can’t be playing outside).
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
Ahhh I love overnight oats!!! doesn’t matter if they aren’t pretty!
Jasper Naomi {crunchylittlebites} says
No script 🙂
PS. When my cast comes off, I’ll be able to fit into KERF longsleeve T….until then it smiles at me from my wardrobe
Olivia says
neat tea brewer.
mary @ minutespermile says
Got the same tea steeper and used it this morning with Adagio as well! We just ordered a massive bag of their white apricot tea. Pretty tasty. Happy Wednesday!
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
I was hoping there would be MORE rain but it seems to have stopped over here. Wash away the pollen!!
Cait's Plate says
I agree – that’s always my only dislike about overnight oats in a sunbutter jar. Pros: delicious, no clean up, prepared upon waking. Cons: There is just no way to take an attractive photo of it!
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
I need to get that frother! I have an Ikea trip to make sometime soon and I will definitely put the frother on my list of things to purchase 🙂
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I feel the same way about the rain here in Atlanta! I need some sunshine soon! I hope you have a great one Kath!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
I haven’t tried Adagio’s Birthday Tea, but David’s Tea came out with one this month called Birthday Cake and it smells deee-viiiine! In fact… that might just be where I go on my lunch hour today. 🙂 Happy Humpday Kath! 🙂
Lindsay says
Hi Kath!!!
I had overnight oats this morning too!! Hadn’t had them in a while, but since they looked so good when you’ve been posting about them, I decided to put them back in my breakfast rotations. Congratulations to you and Matt on your little one!
OliePants says
Love the frothy and the rainy! 🙂 I would give up photogenic for delicious sunbutter! 🙂
Andrea @FrSeed2Stomach says
Your raised beds are AWESOME! I can’t wait to see what comes out of them!! 😀 And I really need to try overnight oats in a sunbutter jar. Sunbutter is my fave and now that it’s warm out, no need for hot oatmeal anymore! woohoo.
Anna says
The Ingenuitea makes the best tea!! And I think it’s so funny how it “pees” the tea out. If you don’t mind that image : )
Annette @FitnessPerks says
I LOVE sunflower butter–thanks to you!!! 🙂
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
Thanks for the tea steeper tip that you like and sunflower seed butter is awesome stuff!
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
i think your oats are beautiful no matter what 🙂 it’s finally sunny here in chicago! enjoy the day.
allpointswhole says
Wow…love the yard!!
Katryn says
Haha, sunshine in my head! Love that concept. 🙂
Maria G. says
Surely the best way to have your oats! 😀
Question about Adagio teas–I clicked on the link for the birthday cake flavor and it came up, but how do I find more specialty flavors like it without knowing their names. I guess what I’m asking is how would I find that tea without the link and without knowing the exact name. Sorry if this was clear as dirt!
KathEats says
If you just go to Adagio.com and look at the top you’ll see Blends – those are ones that users have created. TONS to choose from!
Sarah @ Fresh Living says
I think breakfast out of a jar sounds great! It’s pouring over here in London as well…
Ellie@Fit for the Soul says
Man, overnight oats is probablly one of the most satisfying breakfasts ever….!!! And SSB is the best. I can’t believe that I like it even more than PB. And I hope you have a fantastic day despite the rain! Although..I personally LOOOVE rain 😉
Angel7 says
Thankfully, the sun is shining outside, and it is not too cold! Great day for a brisk walk!

It’s too pretty outside to be stuck inside working in the basement. I so wish we had windows.
Laura P says
This comment relates to dinner and lunch from yesterday. I’m “craving” goat cheese, too. No, I’m not pregnant but just really into goat cheese. I went through a small tub of crumbles in 3 days!! Ok, so the husband had some too but still!!! Just thought that was funny!!!
Grace @ Healthy Dreaming says
I think it’s photogenic and delicious looking! 🙂
Ellie @ healthy belly ellie says
I too had oats in a jar this morning! In a peanut butter jar! SO DELICIOUS… gawsh!
Maria @ Sinfully Nutritious says
Don’t worry Kath, I am having some coffee for you. I will telepathically send you some caffeine. 🙂 I always seem to need an extra cup on dreary days too.
I think your photos were just perfect. I love using the ends of jars. You can some great unexpected bites of the butter. Love it.
Have a great day.
Johanna B says
Kath, do you have plans for a compilation of 2011 favorite posts like you’ve done for previous years? I’m hoping yes. I love going through your lists when I’m feeling the need for more KERF in my life.
KathEats says
Oh I forgot about that! Yes, ill put it on my list
Alyssa says
Love that O’s are the new granola! 🙂
~Christy @ wonderofallthings says
A dreary one for us today, too. Heading to the water kettle right now at your tea’s prompting 😉 Must get warm and back to work!!
Fran@ Broken Cookies Don't Count says
Photogenic or not, OOIAJ are the Best especially in a sunbutter jar!
Mary Catherine says
Have you tried the Maranatha’s sunflower seed butter?! I thought the stats looked a little better than the Sunbutter!
KathEats says
I haven’t yet, but I just bought some of their almond butter
Tracy says
I love Sunbutter and TJ’s sunflower butter, but Maranatha is hands down my favorite. Super drippy and salty!
Monica says
I just bought 2 Ingenuitea…one for me and one for mom! Thanks for the link! They have some great teas. Can’t wait to try the chai and the samples that come with the Ingenuitea.
Thanks again!
Molly says
Hey Kath,
Did Matt do a how-to post on those garden beds and I missed it? If not, would you be able to convince him to do one? I’d really like to try to do some of those this year!
KathEats says
We haven’t yet, but I’ve asked him if he would consider doing one
Molly says
Great! Thanks for the response!
Eileen says
I have that tea infuser! It’s great unless you set it down tilted off the edge of a coaster and accidentally hit the valve…
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
I need to get more sunflower butter…yum!
Catherine says
I just recently bought that jar of sunbutter and have been warming up to the taste little by little – it seemed a bit strong to me when compared to almond or peanut butter. But just this morning my 13 year old saw that I was eating it and told me that I should not because it has so much fat,a nd that only people who have alergies to peanuts and tree nuts should eat it. I looked at the label (something I obviously should have done before) and was quite surprised, as I assumed it would be similar in fat content to PB or AB. Are there any nutritional benefits beyond what you can get from peanut or almond butter? Although I am now liking the taste, I’ll definitely drop it because of the fat content.
KathEats says
It’s made from a seed… Nothing unhealthy about seed fats
Tiffany says
Its healthy fats if eaten in moderation (1-3T) so for me personally I think its great.
Kath,I thought the fat content of different nut butters are roughly similar maybe a couple grams different…am I wrong (I’m just curious)? Thanks 🙂
KathEats says
You’re right, they are comparable. Check out this chart:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nut_butter
Kat says
I love the IngenuiTEA. Adagio has some wonderful teas as well; I love their herbals. Foxtrot and raspberry patch are my favorite. No cream/froth (ha!) necessary.
marnie says
i seriously just spent 30 minutes on adagio’s website…how crazy!! i want to make my own blend now! i am a tea horder….i guess it could be worse! i now have them bookmarked! thanks!
