Tomorrow marks the start of Breakfast Week (24th-30th January 2016) and it therefore seemed wrong not to share a delicious breakfast recipe.

I think a lot of people look at Breakfast Week as a way to celebrate breakfast in all it’s forms (that’s certainly what I thought until I looked into it a bit more), but it’s actually specifically aimed at raising  awareness of the benefits of eating a healthy breakfast and also to demonstrate all of the wonderful breakfast produce available around the country.

It’s run on behalf of the British arable farmers so I thought I should do something cereal based for my Breakfast Week recipe and opted for one of my favourites – Overnight Oats. More specifically Strawberry, Maple and Pistachio Overnight Oats.

Believe it or not, this particular flavour was inspired by my favourite danish pastry, the maple and pecan danish. Maple and pecan overnight oats are one of my favourites but I’ve never put them on here as I always felt they could do with some fruit (because eating fruit in the morning makes me healthy – right?) but I hadn’t figured out the right one.

I bought some strawberries a few weeks ago for a Valentine’s recipe I’m working on (which is not at all healthy by the way) and realised that it was just what my overnight oats had been missing.

The switch from pecan nuts to pistachios is basically because I’m shallow and all about appearances and pistachios are soo000 pretty (well for a nut anyway), all those beautiful hints of green and purple. They’re also a little less bitter than pecans which I like.

Ingredient experiments and becoming a better cook

One of my New Year’s resolutions was to experiment more with ingredients. I hope that by working my way through many of my favourite tried and tested recipes making little substitutions here and there, I’ll learn more about how ingredients behave and therefore be able to create even more yummy recipes in future.

There are loads of “alternative” milks on the market and until now I’d only tried coconut milk (which I love in both smoothies and overnight oats) so I decided it was time to give almond milk a try. This is probably going to sound a bit daft, but it tastes nuttier than I was expecting, I haven’t quite got used to it yet in smoothies but I can tell you it goes brilliantly in overnight oats.

They already have a slightly nutty flavour from the oats so the addition of almond milk goes perfectly, I’m quite converted. Switching from cow’s milk to almond milk also means that this breakfast is naturally dairy-free and suitable for anyone following a vegan diet.

If you don’t happen to have any almond milk to hand then you can easily switch for regular cows’ milk, it works just as well.

If you go for the Instagram option then make sure you tag me @charlotteslivelykitchen as I'd love to see what you've made!
Active time roughly split as 1 minute work the night before and 2 minutes in the morning.
12 hour overnight soaking is a rough estimate. Just make them before you go to bed and they'll be there in the morning ready for breakfast.
Recipe serves 1 but is easily increased to serve more.
The measurements given are a rough guide, I just go by eye when I make it.
0.7 of your 5-a-day fruit and vegetables (but you could easily make it up to 1 with some extra strawberries).

      Thanks Eb, the photography takes me hours so I’m glad to hear it’s worth it! I live on overnight oats and smoothies for breakfast, we’re always in a hurry in the morning so if it takes more than a couple of minutes to get ready then I won’t actually have time to eat it.

    Overnight oats! I’ve still not ventured into the world of fancy post-evening oat soaking, but I’m well overdue. I can’t think of a better dive into the fanfare than with maple syrup and pistachios. Cheers! 🙂

      Yes, definitely about time you jumped on the overnight oats bandwagon! I’d absolutely recommend plenty of maple syrup and pistachios they go really well with the oats (actually they go really well with lots of things!)
