Overnight oats are one of the best things you can do for a chaotic morning. You do the work the night before and breakfast is just sitting in the fridge waiting for you. This version with cocoa nibs, chia seeds, honey and vanilla extract is sweet, creamy and keeps you going until lunch.
I love overnight oats, if you follow me on Instagram you will have seen so many posts of overnight oats in the past. This is a quick recipe for two servings. I use a Kilner style jar as it is easy for resealing. The cocoa nibs inject a deep cocoa flavour without sweetness. The honey provides the sweetness and the vanilla really brings the cocoa nibs to life. The chia seeds add a unique texture and make it more substantial.
There is enough for two servings in the recipe so you can share or have two days worth of amazing breakfast.
Ingredients
1 cup Flahavan’s Irish Organic Oats
1 cup Greek style yoghurt
1/2 cup skimmed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsps cocoa nibs
1 tsp chia seeds
1 tbsp honey (or to taste)
Because you are leaving the oats to soak overnight they will need a little more liquid than normal, which is why the extra milk is added. You can substitute for soya milk, more yoghurt or water.
Once you have added all the ingredients give it a good stir until the oats are coated in the yoghurt and milk.
Something great about this type of breakfast is that it is no fuss. You have already done the hard bit the night before and in my experience it leads to a much more relaxed and enjoyable morning.
More breakfast ideas: my Weetabix protein toppings are even quicker if you can’t face prep the night before. Or if you want something you can eat with a spoon on a slow morning, these kefir quark raspberry oats are brilliant.
