Jumbo Organic Oats: These provide a hearty texture and are ideal for a variety of overnight oat recipes.
Oat Milk and Almond Milk: Oat milk and almond milk are excellent dairy-free alternatives to use in your overnight oat recipes. They add a creamy texture and subtle flavour that complements the oats.
Nut Butters: Peanut butter, almond butter, and other nut butters add richness and a dose of healthy fats. They will make your overnight oats more filling and flavourful.
Fresh Fruit and Dried Fruit: Fresh fruits like berries, and apple chunks, as well as dried fruits like raisins and cranberries, provide natural sweetness and a burst of flavour to your overnight oats.
Brown Sugar and Honey: Sweeten your overnight oats with brown sugar or honey for a touch of sweetness. These natural sweeteners enhance the flavour without the need for adding refined sugar.
Chia Seeds, Flaxseeds and Ground Cinnamon: Chia seeds and flaxseeds add a nutritional boost with fibre and omega-3 fatty acids, while ground cinnamon brings warmth and depth to your oats recipes.
Greek Yogurt: For added thickness and extra protein, add a dollop of Greek yoghurt into your overnight oats.
Consistency: Consistency does depend on personal preference when it comes to overnight oats, however, not adding enough liquid can lead to a thick, pasty mixture. Overnight, the oats will absorb the liquid that’s around them. Add more liquid for a runny consistency or less if you want a thicker, more ‘spoonable’ breakfast.
Sweetening: Use natural sweeteners like brown sugar, honey, or syrup to enhance the flavour of your oats without adding refined sugar.
