Breakfast Ideas: Apple Crumble Overnight Oats

serves one


We all start the new year with good intentions: Try and read before going to bed; Limit our screen time; wake up earlier for placement so that I have time for breakfast rather than eating a banana on the Hammersmith and City Line?

Whilst I may not be of much help with the first two suggestions, I can give you an idea for a quick breakfast that is both nourishing and tasty. All you have to do is add your toppings in the morning on top of the base mixture and you are good to go. It is easily transported in Tupperware so that if you are running low on time, a mushy banana on TFL is not your only option.


Ingredients:

  • 40g oats

  • 120ml milk/plant based alternative milk

  • 2 tablespoons of natural yoghurt

  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon of honey

  • 1/2 apple grated

  • 2 tablespoons of ground almonds


Method:

  1. The night before you intend to eat your overnight oats, mix together the oats, yoghurt, milk, cinnamon and honey in a Tupperware container or bowl.

  2. Cover and store overnight in the fridge.

In the morning, grate half an apple over the mixture and sprinkle the ground almonds over the top. Add more cinnamon to taste.


Other topping ideas:

  • Sliced Banana and a tablespoon of peanut butter

  • Chopped dates and walnuts

  • Frozen berries and desiccated coconut


Tally’s Top Tip - To get ahead for the week, double or triple the base mixture and then you can add your toppings the next morning!
