OVERNIGHT OATS

Overnight oats are not only very convenient but when it comes to flavour combinations possibilities are endless.  As it’s a breakfast recipe it seemed perfectly sensible to add coffee to it.  And since coffee tastes so fantastic with a bit of chocolate I thought it’d be a good idea to pair it with cocoa.

I also used ricotta cheese to make these Mocha Overnight Oats creamy and rich tasting without adding too many calories. (Ricotta contains less fat than cream cheese, mozzarella and certainly much less than mascarpone, so think of it as a slightly more calorific yogurt).  I only used 1 teaspoon of honey but you can add more (or replace the honey with agave syrup or even maple syrup) if you like.  I like both black coffee and dark chocolate (the two predominant flavours in this recipe) so one teaspoon of honey was enough for me.  Especially since I added chunks of banana and roasted hazelnuts to it, too.
