Prep time
5 minutes
40g porridge oats
50g natural yoghurt (full fat for children aged 1-2)
100ml of milk
1-2 handfuls of mixed berries (ideally frozen)
A clear cup, jar or a standard bowl
Refrigerator
Tablespoon
Overnight oats
Mix all of the ingredients together. Cover and put in the refrigerator overnight so the oats absorb the yoghurt.
In the morning remove from the fridge and enjoy!
Serving suggestions
- The quantities used here make enough overnight oats for 1 adult.
- You can use any fruit for overnight oats, you could use apple, pear and cinnamon, banana, strawberries, anything you can think of.
- You could add seeds such as chia seeds for a jelly like texture, smooth peanut butter for extra protein.
- We recommend doubling up this recipe and having enough for breakfast for a couple of days.
- You can use any dairy alternative yoghurts and milks for this recipe.
Top tips
- We recommend using frozen berries as these defrost in the fridge overnight and are juicier, meaning for fruit flavour can be absorbed into the yoghurt and oats
- Frozen, fresh and tinned fruit (in juice) all work well
- Using clear jars and cups can help make this meal even more fun as children can get involved layering the fruits and making a delicious colourful breakfast. We recommend getting some small cups/jars for children’s portions
