Looking to make your mornings a little smoother? Try this delicious chocolate and hazelnut overnight oats recipe from Chilly's so that breakfast is ready to go as soon as you wake up!
If you’re not a morning person, this is the perfect
breakfast for you. It takes only ten minutes to prepare
the night before—just pop the pots into the fridge
and forget about them. When you get up the following
day, top with fruit and nuts and you’re good to go.
Ingredients
Serves: 2
Prep: Ten minutes
Chill: Eight hours or overnight
- 100g rolled or porridge oats
- 240ml unsweetened almond milk
- 200g yoghurt, such as Greek yoghurt or coconut milk yoghurt
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp chocolate hazelnut spread
- 2 tbsp chopped almonds or hazelnuts
- 1 small banana, sliced
- toasted hazelnuts or flaked almonds, to garnish
Method
Put the oats, almond milk, yoghurt, chia seeds
and chocolate hazelnut spread in a bowl and mix
together well.
Divide the mixture between two glass screw-top jars
or Food Pots and sprinkle the chopped nuts over the
top. Cover with the lids or some cling film and chill in
the fridge overnight, preferably for eight hours, so the oats
absorb all the liquid.
The following morning, remove from the fridge and
top with the banana and the toasted nuts.
Try this…
- If you have a sweet tooth, add some stevia to taste to the oat mixture, or drizzle with maple syrup or honey.
- Use coconut milk instead of almond milk.
- Top with raspberries or strawberries.
