Donal Skehan’s Strawberry & Chocolate Overnight Oats

Finally got a hold of Donal Skehan’s new cookbook ‘Fresh’ and I love it! I would highly recommend picking up a copy for yourself because there are so many nutritious recipes in there and pretty straight forward to make as well!

Anyway was feeling like trying out something different for breakfast this morning so I went with one of Donal’s recipes for overnight oats 🙂

I just made a couple of changes to his recipe but nothing major 🙂

NB. If you are planning on making this recipe, remember you must prepare the oats the night before!

Ingredients

25g porridge oats

1 tbsp chia seeds

150ml almond milk

1 tbsp honey/agave syrup/maple syrup

1 tsp cacao powder

3 strawberries, cut in half

2-3 tbsp natural yoghurt

1 tbsp raw cacao nibs

1 tbsp desiccated coconut

Method

  1. Combine the oats, chia seeds and almond milk in a jar with a tight-fitting lid (or what I did was use a glass and cover tightly with 2 layers of cling film) and place in the fridge overnight.
  2. Mix together the honey and cacao powder and set aside.
  3. (Optional) Warm the soaked oats mixture in a microwave or pan.
  4. Top with the yoghurt, strawberries, chocolate sauce, cacao nibs and desiccated coconut.

So yummy!!

Enjoy 🙂
