Christmas Overnight Oats
With all the flavours of Christmas, these festive overnight oats are a great option. Prep them on Christmas Eve so you can have a healthy breakfast on Christmas morning. With all the rushing around and cooking at this time of year, they’re a great recipe that takes minutes, and is one less thing to worry about on Christmas Day!
Ingredients
Ingredients for the oats:
- 2 cups rolled oats (200g)
- ½ cup flaked almonds (40g)
- 2 tsp mixed spice (or pumpkin spice)
- 3 tbsp ground flax seeds
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- Pinch sea salt
- ⅓ cup raisins or dried cranberries (70g)
- Zest & juice of an orange
- 1 apple grated
- 3 cups unsweetened almond milk (750ml)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup optional
- ½ tsp almond extract optional
Optional toppings:
- Chopped nuts and pomegranate
- Dairy free yoghurt
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Leave to set overnight or for at least an hour.
- Serve with a spoonful of yoghurt, orange slices, pomegranate seeds, pumpkin seeds or nuts.
Notes
- The nutritional information is based upon 6 portions and does not include any additional toppings.
- I use almond milk in this recipe as it adds to the almond flavour from the extract, but any non-dairy milk will work.
- In the morning, you may want to add a little more milk depending how thick the mixture is – this will really depend on which oats you use and your preferred texture.
- They are naturally sweet from the orange and raisins but if preferred, add a drizzle of maple syrup to the mixture.
