Hello lovlies,
yay it’s Friday 🙂 I am only popping in for a very quick recipe share.
I am a bit in a hurry as I have a qudrillion of tasks on my to-finish-today list and there is a ceremony at the university today starting at 11 am and one of my colleagues convinced me that it was necessary to go there. BUMMER! It’s just plain stupid. I have no time but need to go somewhere I don’t want to go only because my boss might notice that I am not there and might wonder where I am. Easy answer. As I am practically covering half of my colleagues job I am elbow deep in a swampland of tasks.
But I am digressing….
Yes there was a recipe I wanted to share with you guys.
- 1/3 cup oats
- 1/2 cup boiled water
- 2 tbsp shredded coconut
- 2 tsp maple syrup (or more if you love to have sweeter oats)
- 1/2 cup plain yoghurt (I use soy but any other yoghurt will do)
- berries
- In a bowl mix together the oats and shredded coconut
- Now add the boiling water, stirr a little and set aside for 5-7 minutes
- When the oats have soaked up all the water add the maple syrup and yoghurt
- Blend everything well together and top with berries
- Enjoy
You should really give this oat recipe a try. It’s so yummy! The texture is just lovely. So very creamy with a bit of texture provided by the coconut. And the maple syrup just addes the right amount of deep malty sweetness. Delicious! A little hazelnut butter or almond butter as a topping is also a yummy addition.
What’s your quick and easy breakfast recipe?
Are you an oatmeal lover?
What’s your favorite oatmeal topping?
Have a nice Friday lovelies! I really need to dash now.
Mmmm…coconut and maple syrup sounds divine!
Yes, this match is made in heaven <3
I’ve never thought to combine coconut and maple syrup- you have me tempted! I actually have a huge oatbran craving so tomorrow it shall be satisfied!
It shall definitely be satisfied! You should try this combo. It’s so good!
But maybe sprinkle a little salt in there, too 🙂
Yummy! This sounds wonderful! I will definitely be giving it a try when I forget to put oats in overnight! I love my cereal for on a rush day, but I do like oatmeal too!
Cereal is nice too. But I struggle to find a no sugar brand here! I practically love any kinds of breakfast food!
Hi Juli. I only came across your blog recently and really like it. This looks so yum and warm. Perfect because winter has hit in a huge way here in Melbourne. I know what I will be having for breakfast tomorrow morning 🙂
Hi Lauren, thanks for stopping by and leaving this lovely comment 🙂 I would be happy to hear how you liked it. Have a lovely day 🙂
This looks so warming and delicious! I’ve not gotten back into my oatmeal yet for winter since it is still technically spring here but the weather is so friggin cold already I really should 😉 I love mine with honey, cinnamon and sometimes nut butter.
I agree that oatmeal is a winter breakfast. In summer I find myself turning more to smoothies and other cold foods. Honey, cinnamon and nut butter sounds divine! I’ll definitely try this with my next oatmeal 🙂 Thanks for the tip!
I love the addition of maple syrup and berries. I’ll never say no to berries.
I hope things at work get a little better this week. Put those assistants to work. 🙂
Berries are my favorite fruit ever! I can’t wait for picking stawberries and blueberries and just stuff my face with any berrie I can get my fingers on!
Work has luckily slowed down a bit but I really can’t complain as I do have great assistants who really do a fantastic job! Luckily! But hey, it’s all in the lead, isn’t it 😉
This sounds great and I will try it next week. First get some maple sirup.
This looks super good! I unfortunately still have yet to obtain maple syrup, but this may have to happen in the near future so I can try this out!
