Overnight Oats Persimmon Pomegranate

A creamy, wholesome breakfast featuring sweet persimmon, juicy pomegranate, and nutrient-rich chia seeds for a vibrant start to your day.

I first tasted this blend when winter fruits were in full swing, and now it has become my go-to cold-weather breakfast. The combination of creamy oats and crisp pomegranate always puts a smile on my face.

Ingredients

• Rolled oats: 1 cup (90 g), use gluten-free if needed
• Milk of choice: 1 1/4 cups (300 ml), dairy or plant-based
• Plain yogurt: 1/2 cup (120 g), dairy or non-dairy
• Chia seeds: 2 tbsp
• Maple syrup or honey: 1 tbsp

Instructions

Combine oats:

In a medium bowl or jar, mix rolled oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well.

Soak overnight:

Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight so oats and chia seeds absorb liquid and thicken.

Stir and adjust consistency:

In the morning, stir mixture. Add a splash more milk for creamier texture if desired.

Add toppings:

Divide oats between two bowls or jars. Top with sliced persimmon, pomegranate seeds, and nuts if using.

Finish and serve:

Drizzle extra maple syrup or honey as needed. Serve chilled.

Save

My kids love assembling their own toppings, and it has become a little tradition in our kitchen on chilly mornings.
