Oats with Fruit and seeds.

Breakfast Oats 2 Ways

Marisa Marques
These oats are creamy, hearty and sweet from fresh fruit. They are so delicious that it feels like eating dessert for breakfast. The chocolate, banana and peanut version is a big favourite with small people or chocaholic adults. I was never a breakfast person and thought Oats were boring. But oats are the healthiest breakfast you can have. After trying different methods, my favourite Oats are overnight oats and cooked Oats.

Equipment

  • 1 small pot

Ingredients
  

For cooked Oats

  • 1/2 cup Jumbo or Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Soy Milk or any Plant Milk (a bit extra if needed)
  • 1 tsp Chia Seeds
  • 1 tsp ground Linseeds

For overnight Oats

  • 1 cup Jumbo or Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Soy Milk
  • 1/2 cup Soy or any Plant Yogurt
  • 2 tsp Chia Seeds
  • 2 tsp grounded Linseeds (Flaxseeds)

Extras optional

  • Banana, Berries, Mango and Passion Fruit
  • Cocoa Powder, vegan Chocolate Buttons
  • Pumpkin Seeds, Sunflower Seeds
  • Peanut Butter

Instructions
 

Cooked Oats

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Add your favourite in season fruits and seeds. I love it with roasted Pumpkin and Sunflowers seeds, and fresh Berries.

Overnight Oats

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Notes

Old fashioned rolled oats or Jumbo Oats work best, you can use quick oats, but will be really mushy.
