A lot of the time my breakfast gets lost amongst all my morning duties of feeding the kids their own breakfasts and taking them to school etc, but on the weekends (actually only on Sunday) we take out time to have a loooong breakfast all together, chatting about everything and nothing while deciding what to do the rest of the day.
One of my favourite Sunday breakfasts is porridge, but not any porridge! overnight porridge oats with coconut yoghurt for extra creaminess and then topped up with plenty of freshly cut fruits. I simply have to remember to put the oats in a jar with oat milk the evening before (in the fridge) and it takes no time in the morning to assemble the most filling and delicious breakfast ever!
The kids also like overnight oats but unlike me, they don’t add any yoghurt on theirs, just bananas and a dash of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
So, for two adults this is the recipe:
2 cups rolled jumbo oats
3 cups plant milk
pinch of vanilla powder or a dash of liquid vanilla
freshly cut fruits- apples, bananas, berries, peach all work well
coconut yoghurt- this is my favourite, but any yoghurt you like would do the job 😉
The night before place the jumbo oats and the plant milk in a jar with the vanilla nad mix well. Put the jar in the fridge overnight so the oats soften but the plant milk keeps fresh and doesn’t spoil. In the morning before serving, add a large dollop of yogurt ino the jar and mix well to make the oats creamier. Serve in bowls and top with anything you like- fresh fruits, extra yogurt, maple syrup, chocolate chips- you name it!
Enjoy with a hot cup of tea or coffee- best breakfast ever. You’ll smile for the whole day afterwards 🙂
