Start this breakfast the night before so you can get some extra sleep in the morning. My husband adds coconut to his, and I stir in dried fruit. —June Thomas, Chesterton, Indiana

Ingredients

1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
3 tablespoons fat-free milk
3 tablespoons reduced-fat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup assorted fresh fruit
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts, toasted

Directions

In a small container or Mason jar, combine oats, milk, yogurt and honey. Top with fruit and nuts. Seal; refrigerate overnight.

Chocolate-Cherry Oats: Use cherry-flavored yogurt, add 1 Tbsp. cocoa powder, and top with fresh or frozen pitted cherries.

Banana Bread Oats: Replace honey with maple syrup and stir in half a mashed banana and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Top with toasted pecans.

Carrot Cake Oats: Add 2 Tbsp. grated carrots, and substitute spreadable cream cheese for the yogurt.

Pina Colada Oats: Add half a mashed banana, 2 Tbsp. crushed pineapple and 1 Tbsp. shredded coconut to oat mixture.

Test Kitchen tips

Make this dairy-free by using 1/2 cup soy or coconut milk instead of milk and yogurt.

This can be prepared several days in advance.
