Overnight Oats Recipe
Morning Overnight Oats Recipe: one of my favorite healthy (no-fuss) breakfasts
If you’re looking for a simple recipe for a healthy and energizing breakfast to start your day right, I think you’ll love this overnight oats. It’s become a little morning ritual for us: quick, healthy, and especially practical when you’re in a hurry and have forgotten to buy bread…
The principle is incredibly simple: rolled oats, chia seeds (optional), milk (dairy or plant-based, depending on your preference), and perhaps a little sugar, honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup. Mix everything together the night before, let it chill in the refrigerator… and in the morning, it’s ready! All you have to do is add whatever you like (or not…). Unlike traditional English porridge, it requires no cooking and is best enjoyed cold, which is ideal when you’re in a hurry.
What I particularly appreciate is that it’s a healthy breakfast recipe that allows you to add variety to your daily routine. No more mid-morning cravings! Its texture is pleasant and its nutritional value keeps you going all morning without snacking. Plus, it’s naturally gluten-free.
The next day’s porridge is a base that can be endlessly customized. You can add fresh fruit like bananas or blueberries, shredded coconut, almond, hazelnut, or pistachio butter, or even peanut butter. For a more indulgent touch, I like to incorporate dark chocolate chips, dried fruit like blueberries, cranberries, or raisins, or even nuts, seeds, and cocoa. A spoonful of nut butter or a little jam, and there you have a completely personalized breakfast.
In short, a simple and adaptable recipe, perfect for varying your mornings without complicating your life.
