Overnight oats

by Sofia   -   in Cooking

Toinen super nopea resepti aamiaiselle, eilisten nallepaahtisten lisäksi, on yön yli jääkaapissa tekeytynyt puuro. Se valmistuu helposti kaurahiutaleista, maidosta ( tai kasvisperäisestä maidosta, kuten kauramaidosta) ja hunajasta. Sen lisäksi tarvitset vain kannellisen purkin ja mahdollisesti lisukkeeksi aamulla haluamasi ainekset kuten vaikkapa rusinoita ja banaania. Tämä aamiainen on näppärä ottaa myös mukaan vaikkapa toimistolle.

Purkkipuuro ( perusohje)

1 osa nestettä ( maitoa, kasvispohjaista maitoa, vettä tai vaikkapa appelsinimehua)

1 osa kaurahiutaleita ( jos käytät pikakaurahiutaleita, purkkipuuro valmstuu jopa 30 minuutissa)

n. 1- 2 tl makeuttajaa per 1-2 dl nestettä ( hunajaa, vaahterasiirappia, kookossokeria tms)

ripaus himalajan suolaa ( pinkkiä suolaa tai vaikka Maldon suolaa)

1. Sekoita ainekset keskenään ja anna tekeytyä jääkaapissa yön yli. Lisää makuaineita ( mm. vaniljajauhe, kaneli, kardemumma) ja hedelmiä, pähkinöitä, marjoja tms. joko ennen tekeytymistä tai aamulla.

Cherries and toasted coconut. 

Blueberries and banana. We love to add a bit of vanilla powder and cinnamon for extra flavour to the oats before putting them in the fridge and topping it with fruit and berries in the morning.

Put a lid on it and take to your office with you.

Yesterday I shared a fast and healthy breakfast for school and work mornings when you are in a bit of a hurry and don´t have time for a leisurely brekkie. This one is actually even faster if possible! Overnight oats. They are such a thing at the moment and the easiest thing to do as that. This is also the takeaway breakfast to take with you to the office or to have before practise like soccer or ballet. The internet is filled with overnight oats recipes but here is a very basic one to start with from Deliciously Ella. All you basically need are some oats, a bit of honey, some plant based milk or milk, ( or water or juice… any liquid will actually do) and a jar with a lid. Think empty jam jars for instance. You can add flavours at this point like nuts, (dried) fruit, spices or you can do that in the morning. Add some raisins, cinnamon, banana or whatever you like to your oats. 

Here are some of the overnight oat recipes that I think sound delicious…

You can pretty much add anything you like but the honey ( or maple syrup or coconut sugar) sweetened basic recipe is a good starting point and soon you notice it´s like making regular stovetop porridge. Once you´ve done it a few times you don´t need to measure the ingredients anymore. A normally recommended version seems to be one part oats and one part liquid so no matter how much or little you make it´s pretty easy to follow ( but remember that if you add chia seeds, remember to add a bit more liquid as they soak it up quite efficiently).

Have a happy day!

Hyvää päivää sinulle!
