Lemon Drop Overnight Oatmeal

My goodness. Ever since I made that Lemon Coconut Oatmeal over spring break, I just CAN'T. STOP. I came back to the Jerz, went to Whole Foods, and somewhat begrudgingly (I'm cheap) passed over the ~$5 for a bottle of lemon extract. But now I can have wonderfully lemony oatmeal ALL THE TIME!

You could obviously top this with coconut and make it Overnight Lemon Coconut Oatmeal, but as is, this recipe is just a straight-up celebration of lemon. Don't skip the banana; I promise it's necessary! The yogurt will make it creamy but is not essential to the recipe.

This oatmeal is excellent cold, but as always, I warmed mine up. :)

...and yes, I did just give you new recipes two days in a row. You're welcome!

1. Combine all ingredients in a mason jar.
2. Cover with lid and shake, shake, shake until combined.
