Here's a breakfast that combines indulgence and balance:overnight oats with red berries and chocolate! Prepared the night before in just a few minutes, this bowl will be waiting for you when you wake up, ready to enjoy. The rolled oats and chia seeds have plenty of time to swell, creating a creamy, satisfying texture. Add the tangy freshness of our sugar-free red fruit jam and a touch of chocolate for an irresistible, healthy combo. Perfect to start the day with a meal that will keep you going until lunchtime :-)
Ingredients
-
- Combine water (or milk) and rolled oats in a bowl and microwave for about 2 minutes (stirring every 30 seconds).

- Melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a double boiler.
- Place the oatmeal/skyr mixture in a small bowl and top with the red berry jam.

- And now your overnight oat is ready!
Observations
Can other fruits be used in this recipe?
Yes, you can replace the raspberries with other fruits such as strawberries, blueberries or bananas. All these fruits go very well with chocolate and oatmeal.
Is it possible to make this overnight oat without chocolate?
Of course it's possible! If you prefer a lighter version, you can simply omit the chocolate or replace it with dried fruit, nuts or yoghurt to add a little crunch or creaminess.
How to store overnight oat?
You can store your overnight oat in an airtight jar in the fridge for 2-3 days. So it's perfect for making in advance if you want to save time in the morning.
Is it necessary to use chia seeds?
No, but chia seeds help achieve a thicker texture and provide fiber as well as omega-3.
Can this recipe be made without jam?
Yes, raspberry jam adds a sweet note, but you can substitute fresh or frozen raspberries. Add a little honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter touch.
Can I use plant milk for this recipe?
Absolutely, you can replace water or traditional milk with any plant-based milk: almond, oat, coconut or soya, depending on your tastes and needs. It's also suitable for lactose-free diets.
How do I adjust the texture of this overnight oat?
If you prefer a creamier texture, add a little more liquid (milk or yoghurt). Conversely, for a thicker texture, slightly reduce the amount of liquid used.
