It was sour the next day because of the pineapple and yogurt

  I’m not sure what you mean by that Adria. I’ve never had that problem. Did you use a sour flavored yogurt?

    This happened to me too, I used fresh pineapple, no sugar, and plain yogurt but added vanilla and almond extract. The next day it’s sour and bitter. I make overnight oats all the time but have never used pineapple or yogurt. So weird and such a let down since I made 4 jars for the week 🙁

      It must have something to do with the fresh pineapple Ashley. I only use canned and this has never happened to me. I’m sorry you lost all that oatmeal. This is one of my favorite recipes. I hope you will try it again with canned pineapple.

        Glad this was brought up I’d definitely would’ve used fresh pineapple also😬

        I know Nancy….so weird. I’m going to try it and see if it does the same thing to me.

I can’t say enough how good this is! The cherries really make the whole thing for me, which is a bit strange since last time I had the actual cake (it has been years) I was really unhappy with the cherries… Anyway, I’m trying to replace the yogurt with vanilla protein powder since I already eat yogurt every breakfast and I don’t adapt well to change. I wasn’t completely satisfied with what I got this week (just using 1 T) so I guess I’ll just have to try again next week! Aw shucks. (Those cherries would end up sitting in my fridge forever otherwise, too.) Thanks so much for the recipe! I’ll let you know how next week’s version goes.

  Thanks Sherwood! Yes…I’m curious to know if you can get the protein powder to work. By the way….this is my favorite overnight oatmeal recipe too!

I always get a craving for a “sweet bready” treat in the afternoon at work. I now have my answer! Woohoo!

PS: For the lady who said it was sour – yes it will be if you use plain yogurt and skip the brown sugar. YIKES!

- Sheryl on August 19, 2018 at 8:11 pm said:
  
  Yes Anna, You have to use vanilla yogurt and brown sugar for a touch of sweetness.

Great Recipe! Really liked it. I used unsweetened almond milk for the milk. Calculated this recipe for weight watchers freestyle. It was 8 points per serving, if you divide it into 5 servings like the recipe calls to.

  That’s awesome Whitney. Sometimes I use almond milk too. It’s really tasty!

Wow! Definitely a new favorite breakfast for us! I veganized using vanilla coconut yogurt and oat milk. And used a can of crushed pineapple instead of chunks. Delicious! Thank you!!!
