Overnight steel cut oats and chia breakfast bowl
The breakfast debate (to have or not to have, what and when) is still going strong! The other question is whether you prefer sweet or savoury!
Our answer for now, is that we love a breakfast that’s made ahead, balanced delicious and nourishing. So here’s another overnight recipe to help you out! Making ahead is one of the best pieces of advice we can give if you want to ensure you fuel properly! Use any seasonal fresh fruit to top up or your go to handy frozen fruits.
ingredients
makes 3-4 portions
1 1/2 cup steelcut oats (pinhead oats)
3 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
2 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Choice of fruits
A mix seeds & chopped nuts for topping
method
In a large bowl or tupperware, add the oats and milk and mix.
I like to then cook them for 2-3mins in the microwave.
Add the chia seeds and mix well.
You can add the maple syrup now or the next morning.
Store in the fridge overnight.
In the morning, portion out to bowls and top up with fruits, nuts and seeds. A spoonful of nut butter works well too.
It can be eaten cold or warmed up.
It will keep well in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Be creative and play with the flavours and texture!
the health boost tip
Made ahead breakfasts are honestly the best when you’re busy.
Steel cut oats make this breakfast a little more crunchy than when using rolled oats.
Chia seeds are a great source of protein to keep you full for longer.
