Riri's RecipesWhen you’ve got a busy week, don’t skip out on breakfast. Make these sprouted overnight oats so you can take them with you and stay energized all morning long! All you need are some jars and 5 minutes to prep these the night before, and you’ve got an easy, healthy and high-protein breakfast for the week. You just need pantry-staple ingredients, plus any other add-ins you’d like, and this will be your new go-to breakfast! I use oats, chia seeds, hemp hearts, protein powder and milk to get a mix of carbs, protein and fibre to keep me full.
Ingredients you will need to make your overnight oats
- Organic Sprouted Rolled Oats. My favourite brand is One Degree Organics because their oats are glyphosate-free, gluten-free organic, and sprouted for better digestion. They mix so well into these overnight oats too!
- Protein Powder. You can stick to a basic vanilla or use a flavoured protein powder to switch things up. Chocolate, berry, or mocha would be delicious! My favourite is Good Protein, it’s plant-based and has 21g of protein per serving. Plus, if you use my code RIRISRECIPES30 you can save 30% off your first order!
- Chia Seeds. Chia seeds are packed with fibre and so amazing to have first thing in the morning!
- Ground Flaxseeds. These are rich in omega-3s, fibre, helps digestion and lowers blood pressure.
- Hemp Hearts. Helps to add an extra protein boost, aids in digestion and can reduce inflammation!
- Oat Milk. You can use any milk of your choice, I prefer oat.
- Maple Syrup. This is optional if you’d like to add a sweetener to your oats. Honey works here too!
Tips on making these overnight oats
- Add all dry ingredients first. Pour in all the ingredients in the order listed in the recipe before adding the wet ingredients.
- Add the milk a bit at a time. The dry ingredients will block the milk from going all the way to the bottom of the jar, so it’s important to stir as you add the milk to your overnight oats.
- Add extra milk if the oats are too thick for your liking. One of my favourite little hacks is checking on my oats a few hours after refrigerating them. You can already see the consistency, and I usually go in and add 1-2 tbsp of extra milk if I see it’s getting a little too thick for my liking. You can also add a few more tablespoons of milk in the morning before enjoying!
How to store your sprouted overnight oats
Place oats in an airtight jar and store in the fridge for up to 5-6 days. Enjoy as is from the fridge or warm up in the microwave or in a small pot on the stovetop and add some berries or peanut butter as toppings.
