Overnight Oats and Chia Pudding
This is Thor's favourite recipe for chia-oat breakfast pudding. It's like a cross between chia pudding and overnight oats! Genius.
This recipe is very simple and easy to prepare. Make one or more jars and store in the fridge for a quick breakfast or snack at any time of the day.
This recipe showcases our Australian grown chemical free chia seeds from the Salvetti family in North Queensland (Australian Superfoods NQ), super creamy rolled oats from Burrum Biodynamics, sultanas or other fruit and a milk or other liquid of your choice.
Overnight Oats and Chia Pudding
What you'll need per serving:
- A 500ml jar with a lid
- 80g / 1 scant cup creamy rolled oats
- 20g / 1.5 tablespoons chia seed
- 20g / 1.5 tablespoons dried fruit of your choice (sultanas are easy and delicious!)
- 1-2 teaspoons sweetener of choice (eg. honey - optional)
- 250 - 300ml liquid of your choice. All kinds of milk can be used, or even water works well because the oats create their own milk!
Fresh Fruit Variation
Instead of dried fruit, use only 2/3 cup of oats and add half a cup of finely diced or grated fresh fruit to the jar before topping with milk or water. Fresh fruit adds a juicy natural sweetness to the pudding. Pears, apples, stone fruit, bananas or seasonal berries are all great.
Method
Using a scale or measuring cups and spoons, add all of the ingredients to a 500ml / 1 pint jar.
Fill the jar with milk, water or other liquid of choice.
Stir immediately to combine (don't leave it too long or the chia seeds will clump!).
The pudding thickens over time and is best eaten at least 8 hours after mixing.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Can be eaten cold or warmed on the stove or in a microwave.
