I think this is the world’s easiest breakfast recipe. Oatmeal magically overnight and NO cooking involved! Simply combine whatever milk you like (I love almond milk here) with the oats in a jar and the oats absorb the liquid overnight. All you have to do is top with your favorite oatmeal toppings. I never thought I’d enjoy a cold oatmeal, but it is so incredibly refreshing. Frozen blueberries work perfect with this and for a little texture, I added crunchy buckwheat groats, sliced almonds and coconut flakes. I drizzle extra honey on top which gets cold from the frozen blueberries and, combined with the other crunchy toppings, turns into an almost-granola. So fantastic, especially for hot summer mornings!
OVERNIGHT OATS
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of rolled oats
- 1 cup of almond milk (or any other type of milk)
- 2 spoonfuls of chia seeds
- 1 spoonful of honey (or other sweetener
- Toppings: Frozen wild blueberries, buckwheat groats, coconut flakes, sliced raw almonds, bee pollen, hemp hearts, more honey or sweetener)
Directions:
- The night before, combine the oats, milk, chia seeds and honey in a jar. Shake to combine.
- The next morning, top with lots of frozen blueberries, buckwheat groats, coconut flakes, sliced almonds, hemp hearts and drizzle more honey and top with a little bee pollen.
This would be two servings for me. And I would use fresh fruit not frozen in the morning. Other than that looks like a great recipe.
could KEFIR MILK BE USED?.
A SPOON FULL OF CHIA SEED, AND A SPOON FULL OF HONEY
A TABSPOON, OR TEASPOON?
Just wanted to confirm that we leave the oats overnight in the fridge or outside on counter ? Also do the oats get ready to eat or we need to cook these a bit before we add the toppings in the morning ?
At the top, she says the honey gets cold from the frozen blueberries. In the directions it says top with the frozen blueberries, so it sounds like they’re kept frozen until you’re ready to put them on the oats. From reading other overnight oats recipes, you don’t need to cook the oats but they need to set long enough in the milk to absorb it (to soften). The amount of time this takes depends on the oats being used. You don’t need to heat it prior to eating, but I guess you could if you wanted it warm. Or warm oats and cold berries.
Do you heat this the next morning or serve cold?
I’ve never tried this before but have always wanted to. Time to give it a try!
