A healthy breakfast you can tailor to your own tastes.
If you want a healthy breakfast but don’t have much time in the morning, overnight oats were made for you. Honestly, it’s as easy as stirring together a couple of ingredients in a jar, placing it in the fridge overnight, and enjoying the next morning. On hot days you can enjoy overnight oats cool from the fridge (what I do most often), but on cold days you can warm them in a pot on the stove or in the microwave.
The beauty of overnight oats is that you can keep them simple or get as creative as you’d like. The base recipe is delicious and filling, but if you want to spruce it up, you can add a variety of toppings and mix-ins, including fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, spices, jams, and more. Lately, I’m loving this orange and pistachio combo. I tend to default to berries, so this switch-up keeps my breakfast interesting!
serves: 1
Ingredients
Base overnight oats:
-
½ cup (54g) gluten-free
-
old-fashioned rolled oats
-
½ cup (120ml) milk (dairy or dairy-free)
-
¼ cup (57g) plain Greek yogurt (dairy or dairy-free)
-
1 tablespoon chia seeds
-
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
For the orange pistachio topping:
-
¼ cup (40g) diced orange
-
1 tablespoon roughly chopped pistachios
-
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
-
Pinch of ground ginger or cinnamon
Method
-
To make the base: Place the oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, and maple syrup in a pint-size mason jar or other storage container. Stir well to combine.
- Let the oat mixture soak in the fridge for at least 2 hours, but it’s best to soak overnight for 8 hours. This will yield a creamier consistency.
- To top the base: Top with the orange, pistachios, maple syrup, and spice before serving.
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw a frozen serving, just place it in the fridge the day before.
Helpful Tip
You can use quickcooking oats rather than rolled oats in this recipe, but the texture will be more mushy and porridge-like.

A tasty and rewarding simple dish.
Discover a few dishes Matildas players love and learn how to make them yourself.
Think of this as exactly what Nando’s wishes it was: vibrant spicy chicken with crispy skin served with crunchy fries and a spicy dipping sauce. Piri piri chillies aren’t widely available in Australia, unless you grow them yourself, but bird’s-eye chillies are easy to find and they do the trick.
I don’t remember much about the circumstances of my first cherry clafoutis. But I must have loved the classic French farmhouse dessert, because I’ve been trying to reproduce that first custardy, almond-scented pancake ever since.
Not quite a red curry, not quite a satay, this dish is the best of both worlds, inspired by Thai flavours and it is divine. It’s a throw-and-go recipe and I know we all love those at BOL. Perfect served with creamy coconut rice, some sliced red chilli and flatbreads.
Camellia Punjabi's recipe for the classic North Indian dish of stir-fried peppers with paneer is flavoured with a medley of spices and aromatics and makes for a brilliant vegetarian dish.
‘I always think that canapés should box slightly above their weight – in other words, they need to be vividly flavoured to succeed. Here, the combination of crisp brioche, salty feta, pickled walnuts, figs, honey and thyme is just that. If you like, there’s a recipe for pickling your own green walnuts on page 275 of Rick Stein’s Christmas. You can also make this with slices of goat’s cheese from a log instead of the whipped feta.’
These adorably spooky cookies are the perfect Halloween biscuit, with a perfect chocolate crumb and a coating of marshmallow cobwebs. You can also create a seasonal variation for Bonfire Night featuring a sprinkling of edible gold dust.
This is based on Brie’s great grandma’s recipe, which has been passed down for generations.
This no-bake cheesecake is deceptively easy to make but will make a big impact at your next Halloween party.
Every alpha knows that their pack will wake up ravenous after a night of rocking out under a full moon.
