Coffee & Banana Oats Benefits
Coffee and banana overnight oats make for an energising breakfast, which is also filling and nutritious. You don’t need to mix the coffee granules with hot water, as they’ll naturally infuse into the milky oat mixture.
Let’s talk ingredients:
Rolled Oats
The foundation of our recipe, rolled oats create a comforting and satisfying base for your breakfast. They’re a great source of fibre and provide sustained energy to keep you fuelled throughout the morning. The humble oat also contains essential vitamins and minerals, supporting your overall well-being.
Almond Milk
We love using almond milk in our overnight oats recipes since it adds a subtle hint of nuttiness. It’s a dairy-free alternative that provides a creamy consistency while enhancing the natural flavours of the banana and coffee. But you can choose your preferred milk – all of them will soften the oats and create a soft texture.
Banana
Banana is a breakfast favourite and with good reason… This versatile fruit brings natural sweetness and a creamy texture to your oat bowl. Bananas are loaded with potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fibre, making them a nutritious addition to your morning routine.
Coffee Granules
Who doesn’t love a coffee in the morning? But why limit yourself to the beverage form when you can add them into your breakfast too…
Coffee granules infuse your overnight oats with the rich and robust flavours of cappuccino. The caffeine provides a gentle energy boost, helping you start your day with a little extra pep in your step.
