Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Most days, we have my cook’s regular Indian-style dishes, but I like to indulge and make something interesting and new over the weekends. I came across these Nutella-flavored oats on Pinterest. It looked and sounded very interesting. I also had a bottle of Nutella sitting in my refrigerator for a long time. So, without wasting any time, I made these Nutella oats. I made them again the next week when I called some friends over breakfast. Everyone loved the oats, and the bowl was empty in no time.
About Nutella Overnight Oats
Nutella Overnight Oats is a breakfast dish made with rolled oats, milk, chai seeds, honey, and Nutella. It can be prepared in 5 minutes of active working time and meal-prepped for the entire week. It is a great dish with a good balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats and keeps your tummy full for a long time. Although you can serve them as is, I like to top them with fresh fruits and dried nuts for an extra boost of vitamins and minerals. They also look beautiful and appetizing that way. You can also use plant-based milk like coconut, almond, soy milk, etc. Oats – Rolled oats (old-fashioned oats) are best to make overnight oats as they soak up the flavor without getting mushy. Nutella – Nutella is the star ingredient of this recipe. If your Nutella has become thick, microwave it for a few seconds. Others – You will also need chia seeds and maple syrup or honey. If you want to add extra protein to your breakfast, then add a scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder to the oats mixture. Once the oats are soaked overnight, mix them well. Add some milk if the oats are too thick for your liking. Check for the sweetener and add more if needed. Top with your choice of topping and serve cold, or remove the lid and microwave for 1-2 minutes to gently warm. You can top them with Nutella or other nut butter like peanut butter or almond butter. Crunchy granola is also a nice topping as it adds texture to the overnight oats. Chocolate shavings, coconut flakes, etc, are some other topping options.
