    Hot or cold overnight oats

    By carpentersAdmin | Recipe of the Week | 0 comment | 2 June, 2017 | 0

    Soaking rolled oats the night before means that this breakfast only takes a minute to pull together in the morning. Cold overnight oats are a delicious summery alternative to hot porridge. They taste a little like rice pudding. You can make a bigger batch to last a few days if you like.

    Porridge oats are so good for you; they are a filling source of soluble fibre known as beta-glucan which can help to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

    Makes 1 breakfast

    50 g jumbo Redbournbury Mill porridge oats

    1 tbsp chia seeds

    125 ml your choice of milk, almond works well

    1 tbsp Greek yoghurt

     

    1. Tip the oats and chia seeds into a bowl or sealable jar, and give them a quick stir. Pour in the milk and yoghurt and stir again. Cover and put in the fridge overnight.
    2. In the morning, add whatever topping you like, and eat cold as it is. Alternatively for a hot breakfast, tip the mixture into a saucepan and heat through for 1 minute until hot. You might need to add a little water to loosen.

    Porridge topping ideas:

    Add a variety of fruit, seeds and nuts to your porridge each time you make this to get a full range of vitamins and nutrients; a few pistachio nuts or chopped almonds, a sprinkle of pumpkin or sunflower seeds, a handful of fresh berries (add frozen berries the night before so they can defrost), chopped apricots, nectarines or peaches, dried goji berries, sliced banana or sultanas.

    Packed, by Becky Alexander & Michelle Lake (Dip ION mBANT) is published by Nourish, £12.99. Becky writes the food column for The Herts Advertiser and Michelle runs Mission Nutrition, a nutritional therapy consultancy based in St Albans.
