OIANJ?

An empty peanut butter jar can only mean one thing--OIAJ! (Oats in a Jar) If you haven't tried this before, it'a absolutely amazing. You can read more about it here in a tutorial from Carrots n' Cake. It's basically a way to a) use up that PB you can't scrape out of the jar, and b) make a normal oatmeal breakfast exciting and extra-tasty. Something about eating out of a jar is so fun.
Anyway, now that I've got you all excited, this post isn't about oatmeal in a PB jar. Nope, sorry.

Sorry about the cat in the window!

Instead of PB, I decided to put my oatmeal in a nutella jar. (OIANJ?) Holy awesomeness. This stuff is amazing. I cooked my oats separately since that plastic jar didn't look like it could handle the microwave. I just added my normal oats to the jar, and then tossed in some almonds, flax, and sliced strawberries. It tasted a little like chocolate covered strawberries, which is not a bad way to start off a saturday morning. The jar was a little too small for my liking, but it was nice to see the strawberries overflowing:

So basically now every other breakfast I have is going to be really boring. I need some new ideas to amp up oatmeal! I can't be going through nutella jars every day (or can I?). 

Random side note: in a lot of places I have lived, nutella comes in a glass jar (which becomes a drinking glass after you finish the nutella and wash it out). I have only seen it in plastic jars here--what's up? Have you seen the glass jars and where can I get them!?!

Have you ever made oats in a jar (PB, nutella, jam, anything)?

Nutella, obviously, and PB. Never jam but once I finish my jar now I totally will!

What is a special breakfast for you? Something different from your everyday morning eats.

I'm a creature of habit so it's oatmeal every day in different variations. I used to eat Special K and yogurt every single morning for a long time. Before that it was oatmeal with a sliced apple and brown sugar--also for months at a time. I'm so boring!
