Since I’m not feeling too great, I think this is a perfect breakfast for those lazy morning when you just don’t want to get out of bed.
My day basically consists of oatmeal (oh so warming!) with chicken soup and then more chicken soup. Which is totally ok with me, because it screams warm comforting nights!
Pumpkin Overnight Oats vegan, gluten free, dairy free
Serves 1
A delicious and easy breakfast in the cold months when you want that extra 15 minutes in bed! Sweet notes from the pumpkin comes through whilst the cinnamon gives a Christmassy flavour! This recipe can also be warmed up on the stove top in the morning or baked for 20 minutes at 180ºC.
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup warm water or warm almond milk (can be substituted with soy, coconut or dairy milk)
1 tablespoon pumpkin puree (recipe below)
Cinnamon, to taste
Maple syrup, to taste
For garnishing: chopped apple, walnuts, coconut yoghurt, cinnamon
Mix the water, puree and oats together.
Set aside or put in the fridge for an hour or overnight.
I like to serve in a cute jar with chopped apple and walnuts.
