Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 5th of August 2025 Overnight oats have to be the simplest breakfasts I know.  You put it together the night before and in the morning you have a great tasting highly nutritious breakfast that you just pour in a bowl and eat. Basic ingredients are rolled oast and soya milk.  Great for hot summer days.

By McDonald, T.   |  Date 1st of July 2024 Do you like carrot cake?  Yes, great! So, why not try out carrot cake flavoured overnight oats?  I know, you think that i'm having you on, but I'm not and it is such a great treat in the morning or anytime.  It still has that creamy taste and texture, but with a distinct carrot cake flavour and with the added bonus of vitamin A.

By McDonald, T.   |  Date 15th of March 2024 If you need something sweet in the morning, this is it.  It has all the sweetness of a bounty bar but is in a bowl. Not exactly one of the healthiest breakfast oats, but definitely one of the tastiest!

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 19th of February 2024 I love overnight oats because they are so easy to make, yet so tasty!  You just put most of it in a jar with vegan milk and leave it overnight.  I guess that is why it's called overnight oats.  There are lots of versions and this is the tropical fruit one. Enjoy! Notes I tried adding the banana chips earlier and leaving it overnight, but they lost a lot of flavour.  It was the same for the papaya and pineapple pieces. You can use any vegan milk, but the coconut milk alternative works best.  This is not the coconut milk you get in a can.  Providing you are not intolerant to wheat or have a wheat allergy, you can add a tbsp of wheat bran. Although oats are gluten free, they can be easily contaminated when packaged on factories. Ingredients Rolled oats x 40 g Coconut milk alternative x 200 ml Chia seeds x 1 tsp Flaxseed x 1 tsp A few banana chips  Sultanas x 1 tbsp Papaya and pineapple pie...

Written by  McDonald, T.    |  Date 11th of April 2022 This is a simple, but tasty recipe that really surprised me at how good it is.  It has all the good bits that a hot cross bun would offer in that it has mixed peel, sultans and even mixed spices.
