Serves: 1 | Total Cooking Time: 5 minutes + overnight
Ingredients
50g oats
2 tsp chia seeds
1 tsp ground coffee
120 ml plant milk of choice (I like unsweetened almond, oat, or soya milk)
2 medjool dates, pitted
10g vegan vanilla protein powder (linked is the one I use. Code ‘VEGAMBS’ will also get you 10% off sitewide)
Topping:
1 tsp date syrup
1-2 tsp (roughly 5-10g) vegan vanilla protein powder (linked is the one I use Code ‘VEGAMBS’ will also get you 10% off sitewide)
15g smooth almond butter
1 tsp ground coffee
1-2 tbsp water
Instructions
First remove the stones from your dates and chop them up really fine. (to make life simpler, you could also place them into a blender along with your plant milk and blend for 1 min or so). TIP: you want soft, creamy dates, so if all your dates are slightly hard, soak them in boiling water for 5 or so minutes and continue with this step.
Place your oats, chia seeds, vanilla powder, and ground coffee into a jar, bowl, or tub and mix together. Then pour in your dates and milk and mix again throughly.
To make the coffee glaze, mix all the ingredients into a small cup or bowl until smooth. Then pour on top of your oats.
Place in the fridge overnight for the creamiest breakfast you’ve ever had, which also gives you your coffee hit all in one! Perfect!
Notes
This recipe also tastes great as baked oats! You can either make as per the above instructions and bake in the oven at 180ºC, fan for roughly 20 minutes, or you can change the dates to 1 banana, mashed and mix together with all the remaining base ingredients to make your oat mix. Then transfer into a baking dish and bake!
Enjoy! Lots & lots of love.
