Grab and go in the breakfast department is a must. We love our homemade oatmeal packets, and our peanut butter banana breakfast cookies. This Maple Pecan Overnight Oats in a Jar is up at the top of our breakfast totem right now. 

All you have to do is mix the ingredients up and put them in a jar in your refrigerator overnight. This is PERFECT if you have busy mornings or kids that need to get breakfast for themselves. They can just grab a jar right out of the fridge or heat it in the microwave for a few seconds if they prefer it warm. 

I added a little maple syrup and extra pecans to the top of mine in the morning after I heated it up. This is one of the best oatmeals I have ever eaten! I love all the fall flavors! The pecans give it that extra crunch! YUM!
