What are overnight oats?
Overnight oats are a simple, nutritious and versatile breakfast that is becoming increasingly popular. Instead of cooking oatmeal, you soak it overnight in a liquid such as milk or yogurt. This softens the oat flakes and gives them a creamy texture without the need for heat. It's an ideal way to save time in the morning while still enjoying a nutritious breakfast.
The origins of overnight oats lie in Switzerland, where in the early 20th century Dr. Maximilian Bircher-Brenner developed a similar dish, known as Bircher muesli. At the time, this nutritious breakfast was promoted as a healthy and light meal, rich in fiber and vitamins.
Today, overnight oats are loved worldwide for their simplicity, healthy properties and endless variation possibilities. With additions such as fruits, nuts and seeds, you can fully customize breakfast to suit your taste and nutritional needs. So this overnight oats with strawberries and cottage cheese is perfect for a busy morning!
What you need:
1
40 gr oatmeal
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp linseed
160 ml (vegetable) milk
150 gr (vegetable) cottage cheese
100 gr strawberries
(fresh or frozen)
optional: mint for garnish
These supplies are for 1 person
What to do:
1
Place the oatmeal along with the flaxseed and chia seeds in a sealable jar. Add the milk and twist on the lid. Shake well for 10 seconds and refrigerate overnight. Do you like a slightly sweeter breakfast? Then add some honey if necessary. I don't, because I think it's already sweet enough with the strawberries that will be added later!
2
Thaw the strawberries. Keep two and mash the rest with a fork. Mix with the cottage cheese.
3
Divide the overnight oats and cottage cheese in layers in a glass and garnish further with the strawberries and mint.
