How to Get Started 

Buy a small mason jar, combine your oatmeal mixture according to the recipe, and store the jar in the fridge overnight to wake up to a breakfast that is ready to roll out of the house with you. The texture depends on the type of oat you use. The texture will be soft if you use quick oats, chewy if rolled, and both crunchy and chewy if you opt for steel-cut.
