Soured Overnight Oats

 

AGE APPROPRIATE: When on 2 meals a day
SERVES:
1 adult and 1 child

Benefits:
These oats are a staple in our house – mainly because I can pre-prepare them the day before, making those busy mornings that little bit easier! These overnight oats are soured, which breaks down the phytic acid on the oats, making them a lot easier to digest and allowing the body too readily absorb more of the nutrients.

Notes

AGE APPROPRIATE: When on 2 meals+ a day
Notes:
**Egg yolk, collagen powder and butter are all optional - these make a great balanced meal but none of the ingredients are necessary to make the porridge work.
**Swaps
- Oats for quinoa flakes for GF
- Butter for ghee or coconut oil or nut butter
- Egg yolk/collagen for nut butter or tahini
- You can omit flaxseed meal/hemp seeds/chia seeds and this porridge will still work fine. These are just for the nutritional benefit!
This will last 2-3 days in the fridge
Also makes a delicious portable meal if you pop it in a jar for lunchboxes or to take out with you.
