Lychee, Macadamia & Vanilla Oats

Updated: Jul 30


Finally another recipe on my blog that includes lychees!


This breakfast combines two of my favourite ingredients: lychees and macadamia nuts.

Lychees are at the end of their season here and we still have a full box in the fridge.


As you might have guessed from the name of my blog, lychees are one of my favourite fruit and I have lately been adding them to my smoothies, breakfasts, fruit salads, Thai curries and have basically been snacking on them non-stop.



Lychee, Macadamia & Vanilla Oats


This overnight oats is prepared the traditional way, but I blended the rolled oat flakes into a floury constancy before soaking. This gives the oats a cake-batter like constancy. So yum!!

You can keep the rolled oat flakes whole if you prefer.



WHY WE LIKE OVERNIGHT OATS

  • It takes minimal effort to make a delicious and nutritious breakfast.

  • Mix the oats in a sealable jar for a quick grab-and-go breakfast in the morning

  • Perfect if you are short on time.

  • It is super easy.

  • No cooking is involved, but you can heat it up in the morning if you prefer a warm porridge.

  • Use fruit to sweeten your oats. I personally prefer using a mashed banana to sweeten my breakfast and it makes it even creamier.

OTHER OPTIONS

  • For a gluten-free option, make sure to use a gluten-free specified oats.

  • Use fruit to sweeten the oats for a refined sugar-free breakfast.

  • Any milk will be fine to use, but I prefer macadamia, almond or oat milk

  • Replace the macadamia nuts and macadamia butter with almonds and almond butter

  • If you don't have chia seeds that is fine, you can omit or use ground flaxseeds as an alternative.

  • Adjust the amount of macadamia milk added - if you prefer a thicker consistency add less milk. If you prefer a runnier oats, simply add more.
