Breakfast Oats 2 Ways
Think oats are boring? Think again!
Naturally sweetened and seriously satisfying—these oats taste like dessert for breakfast! The chocolate, banana, and peanut combo is a hit with kids and chocoholics alike.
Whether overnight or warm and cosy, oats are quick, nourishing, and perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients:
For cooked Oats:
½ cup of Jumbo or Rolled Oats
1 cup of Plant Milk (a bit extra if needed)
1 tsp of Chia Seeds
1 tsp of ground Linseeds
For overnight Oats:
1 cup Jumbo or Rolled Oats
1 cup of Plant Milk
½ cup of Plant Yogurt
2 tsp of Chia Seeds
2 tsp of Linseeds
Extras optional:
Banana, Berries, Mango and Passion Fruit
Cocoa Powder, vegan Chocolate Buttons
Pumpkin Seeds, Sunflower Seeds
Instructions - Cooked Oats
Step 1 – Add the Oats, Linseeds, Chia and 1 cup of Plant Milk in a sauce pan. Simmer for 5-10 mins mixing constantly. Add a bit more plant milk if needed.
Step 2 – Pour the cooked Oats into a bowl and let them cool down for 10 mins. I like to add Goji berries while the oats are still hot to soften the dry berries.
Step 3 – Add your favourite in season fruits and seeds. I love it with roasted Pumpkin and Sunflowers seeds, and fresh Berries.
Instructions - Overnight Oats
Step 1 – In a container with a lid, mix together the Oats, Chia Seeds, Linseeds, Plant Milk and Plant Yogurt. Keep in the fridge overnight or a min of 3 hours.
Step 2 – Into a glass jar add the Mango and Passion Fruit in the bottom. Add banana slices to the side of another glass. Top with the overnight oats but leave some space for extra fruit and nuts.
Step 3 – Add slices of Mango, Passion Fruit, Almonds and Goji Berries on top. To the remaining oats add 1 Tbsp of Cocoa Powder and mix well before pouring it into the glass with banana. Top with more Banana, Peanut Butter, roasted Almonds and vegan chocolate buttons.
About these Ingredients:
Jumbo or Rolled Oats: Old-fashioned rolled or jumbo oats are best for texture and nutrition. While quick oats can be used, they tend to go mushy and are digested much faster. Jumbo oats are slower to absorb, keeping you fuller for longer. They’re packed with fibre, complex carbs, and even a good amount of protein—making them one of the most nutrient-dense breakfast options around.
Chia Seeds: Chia seeds are rich in fibre, omega-3s, protein, and essential minerals. They support digestion, heart health, and blood sugar balance—plus they make your oats extra creamy!
Flaxseeds (Linseeds):
Golden or brown, flaxseeds are packed with fibre, omega-3s, and lignans. They support digestion, heart health, and help balance blood sugar and cholesterol.
Cocoa Powder: Rich in magnesium and antioxidants, cocoa is more than just delicious—it’s a true superfood. It supports mood and mental well-being by boosting serotonin, dopamine, and other feel-good chemicals.
Plant Milk: I use unsweetened soy milk, but any plant-based milk works. Choose one with minimal ingredients—ideally just water and the main plant, like organic soy.
