Additional Notes

How do I make Festive Overnight Oats?

You can make your dry oat mix in advance, and simply scoop out what you need to soak the night before. Here is our festive overnight oat dry mix recipe.

Overnight Oat Tips:

Remember you can add or remove some ingredients to suit your likes and what you have at home. You could add nuts, goji berries, or protein powder, or even milk powder.

  • Are overnight oats healthy?
    Yes, most overnight oats use more rolled, raw oats which are less processed than the instant oat variety. It is said the slow cooking process retains more nutrients than boiling oats.

  • How long should I soak overnight oats?
    The best thing is you don’t have to cook overnight oats! They need to soak for at least 2 hours, but the longer they soak, the creamier they will be!
  • Why add seeds:
    Chia and flax seeds absorb moisture to make the final product more creamy. These seeds contain healthy omega-3 and, like oats, they will add fibre and protein to your breakfast.

What if I don’t like Christmas spice, or I don’t eat dried fruit, like raisins?

This recipe was inspired by our famous Food Lover’s Festive Mix (those red buckets) that one would use for a Christmas cake. If you don’t want a Christmassy flavoured oats, then simply replace it with other spices of your choice. You can also leave out the raisins. We have developed an ‘everyday’ dry oat mix for you too.
