Coffee, oat, chia puddings

Coffee, oat, chia puddings

I’m not generally much of a food prepper, but I’m so obsessed with this breakfast-on-the-go recipe, I can’t ever not see myself motivated to make it. These are overnight COFFEE, OATS AND CHIA PUDDINGS, and they were the MVP of my cookbook shoot. A three-week shoot meant I wanted to be as organised as possible so things could run smoothly (which they did! I can’t wait to share what we created). Plus there’s nothing quite like starting the day feeling smug about being on top of things.

4-5

  • Ingredients

    1 cup of traditional oats
    2 tablespoon chia (I prefer white)
    1 cup milk of choice (I like soy or oat)
    1 cup black coffee
    1/2 cup of Greek Yoghurt (unsweetened)
    1-2 tablespoon maple syrup
    pinch of salt
    1 teaspoon vanilla paste/essence
    1 tablespoon protein powder, optional
    1 tablespoon collagen powder, optional

    To serve - banana, extra yoghurt, chocolate, nut butter - or coffee crema (see method)

  • Method

    Combine oats, chia seeds, milk, coffee, yoghurt, maple syrup to your liking (I like 2 tbs), collagen and protein powder if using, salt and vanilla. Stir. Then pop covered in fridge overnight.

    The next morning, spoon into jars. They are good to go at this point but if you want something extra, top each jar with sliced banana, almond butter, extra Greek yoghurt, and a dusting of chocolate.  Or for an extra caffeine kick, make a coffee crema—just mix 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules, 2 teaspoons of maple syrup and 2 teaspoons of boiling water, then using a milk frother, froth until creamy- about 2 minutes. Dollop over top (the coffee crema is best made in morning)
