Anything nice and quick in the morning is a bit of a lifesaver. By the time everyone is awake and ready for breakfast it is sometimes easier to just pour cereal though. I try to avoid that when I can. Scrambled eggs, pancakes and fruits and oats have my preference for the kids before a long day.
Overnight oats were a significant trend for a while and some of us have clung on to the ease of them. I am a pretty early riser but I like to let the little ladies sleep as long as possible.
Anyway, I roped in my smallest chef to help me prep this little one for her big sister when she gets home from school later on today.
Ingredients:
Half a punnet of raspberries (or your favourite berry) Some honey Oats Kefir-Quark
Mash the berries with a squirt of honey.
In a cup pour in some oats, try and make each layer even. (Or if you are Ivy, do what you want).
The sweetness comes from the berries and the honey. The kefir-quark is tangy and really wakes your taste buds up.
Layer it up until you’re happy. You could eat straight away or leave it.
We were sent the kefir-quark to try out.
More breakfast ideas on Mojo Blogs: if you want something even quicker, my Weetabix protein toppings take about two minutes. Or if you’re the prep-ahead type, these cocoa nib overnight oats are ready before you even wake up.
Soundtrack for a Slow Morning
Layering oats slowly in a jar deserves a slow morning playlist. The WiiM Mini and Edifier R1280T bundle is the cheapest path I have found to a proper kitchen audio setup. For Sunday breakfasts, Hozier’s Unreal Unearth from my current vinyl rotation is exactly the right tempo.
