Happy Sunday, my cats! How are you? Are you enjoying your Summer? Here we’re having some clammy days, but at least today it was windy so it took away a bit of the dampness and my daily walk was more pleasant. Usually, on a Sunday I would make something sweet for the week like muffins, cookies etc: however, I still don’t have an oven at the new place so I am not able to bake. Does this mean that I can’t have a homemade sweet to enjoy during the week? Absolutely not! I’m not defeated that easily. As you’ve seen in a couple of past posts (here and here), there are delicious solutions to have easy and quick oven-free recipes! This week, I am sharing an amazing recipe to get your day start properly: Easy Coffee Overnight Oats by ForkfulPlants.

Ingredients  

• 40 g oats (~½ cup)
• 15 g chia seeds (~1½ tbsp)
• 80 ml brewed coffee (⅓ cup)
• 125 ml almond milk (½ cup)
• 60 g plain dairy-free yoghurt (⅓ cup)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract optional
• 1-2 tsp maple syrup optional

Method 

1. In a mason jar or bowl, add the oats, chia seeds, brewed coffee, almond milk, yoghurt, vanilla (if using) and maple syrup (if using).
2. Mix really well until it’s all combined, then cover and move to the fridge.
3. Leave to thicken overnight, or for a minimum of 3 hours.
4. To enjoy your oats the next morning, you can top them with some more yoghurt and some chopped nuts or seeds.

You can make it every night and it really takes just a few minutes: easy, quick, delicious and nutritious! I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.

Love,
