Who says porridge can only be eaten hot?
In summer, many people give up their usual oat-based breakfast because the heat makes hot dishes less appealing. There is a solution, and it has become one of the most popular breakfasts of recent years: Overnight Oats.
Also known as no-cook cold porridge, Overnight Oats take just a few minutes to prepare the night before and are ready to enjoy as soon as you wake up.
What are Overnight Oats?
Overnight Oats are made from rolled oats left to soak overnight in milk or a plant-based drink.
While resting in the fridge, the oats absorb the liquid and become soft and creamy, with no cooking required.
The result is a fresh, filling breakfast that's perfect for summer days.
The Basic Overnight Oats Recipe
For one serving you need:
-
50 g rolled oats
-
120 ml milk or plant-based drink
-
1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
Pour all the ingredients into a jar or a resealable container.
Stir well and leave to rest in the fridge for at least 6-8 hours.
In the morning, the base will be ready for you to customize.
Overnight Oats with Almond Spread and Raspberries
One of the most indulgent and popular combinations is with Sugar-Free Almond Spread.
Once your Overnight Oats are ready, add:
-
1 tablespoon almond spread

Fresh raspberries

Sliced almonds
The spread makes the mixture even silkier and adds an intense note that pairs perfectly with the freshness of the berries.
Why Make Them the Night Before?
Overnight Oats are ideal for anyone short on time in the morning.
In just two minutes you can prepare everything before going to bed and find breakfast ready the moment you open the fridge.
They're perfect for:
