Hey Guys! I am Nisa Homey, today I'm sharing
an overnight oats recipe. No cooking needed, no dairy milk, no refined sugar. Super healthy
and easy to make on those busy mornings. This chocolate overnight oats can be enjoyed as a
quick healthy breakfast in your weight loss journey. So let's get started with the recipe.
Into a bowl I'm adding in 1 4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats. I'm adding in some water, and
I'm allowing the oats to soak for about five to ten minutes.
The reason why you need to soak
oats is to help release the phytic acid content in oats. Phytates are nutrient Inhibitors which
may cause digestive issues to some people. Now, if you have noticed having digestive issues like
gas, bloating, or indigestion when consuming oats you may need to soak it a little bit longer;
like say, for about 15 minutes to half an hour you can even soak it overnight if you prefer.
Remember that phytates are nutrient Inhibitors they also prevent nutrient absorption. So, if
you are using raw oats in your diet always try to soak the them or roast them before using
so that the phytates are released. If you're planning to make this for breakfast you can
do this process at night if you're planning to make this as a dinner you can do this process
in the morning. And now I'm going to get the other ingredients ready while the oats are soaking
so I'm going to keep it aside. I have overnight soaked seven to eight almonds and I'm peeling the
skin of the almonds.
Now, it's necessary that you soak the almonds and peel the skin so that the
phytates in almonds are released the almonds are now peeled!. Into my blender jar I'm adding
in the overnight soaked and peeled almonds. I have measured 1 cup of water and from that I'm
adding in 1 4 cup water and I'm blending this to make an almond puree. Okay now I have blended
the almonds. Pour the blended almonds into a cup. Pour the rest of the water into the small chutney
grinder and wash down the residue onto the cup. This way there is no wastage, I'm going to keep
this aside. Okay now it's about 10 minutes and the oats are nicely soaked, so I'm going to rinse
it under running water and keep it on a strainer. The oats are rinsed under running water and I've
kept it on a strainer.
I'm using one ripe banana, this is a local variety Kerala banana which is
relatively small in size. Slicing the banana and adding it into the bowl and with a
potato masher I'm mashing the banana. Into this I'm adding in one tablespoon kaakvi
also known as liquid jaggery. Instead of kaakvi you can also use jaggery powder as per your
taste. Increase or decrease sweetener as per your taste you can also use maple syrup if
you don't have liquid jaggery at hand. One third teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon powder
for flavor, instead of cinnamon powder you can use vanilla extract, or even cardamom powder
and with a spoon give this all a good mix Pour in the prepared homemade almond milk.
1 tbsp chia seeds for that extra healthy fats
Omega-3s and fiber. One tablespoon sunflower seeds, instead of sunflower seeds you can use
pumpkin seeds. One tablespoon raw cacao powder, and give it all a good mix. At this stage you can check sweetness if you
feel you need most sweetness you can add in some extra kaakvi, instead of kaakvi, you can also
use date syrup, or chopped dates, or date paste or even maple syrup. Once mixed I'm adding in the
rinsed and strained oats, give it a good mix. And lastly I am sprinkling in about a tablespoon
of raw cacao nibs for added flavor. Close it with the lid. Keep it in the refrigerator overnight,
so I'm going to transfer it into the refrigerator. And the next day morning my healthy dairy
free overnight oats is ready to serve, and lastly just for garnish I'm sprinkling in some
sliced overnight soaked and peeled almonds.
This will give a subtle crunch to the overnight
oats if you would like more added crunch you can sprinkle in little bit of raw cacao nibs it's
entirely optional and my super healthy overnight oats is ready to serve. So guys do try this
healthy overnight oats recipe and let me know in the comments how it turned out thank you for
