Breakfast Idea: Overnight Oats

But why soak oatmeal for so long? Oats contain phytic acid, and this disappears when you let the oats swell.
Phytic acid binds important minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, and zinc. These minerals cannot be absorbed
by the body if the oats are not soaked.

If you want to save even more time, you can prepare a double batch for two days. You can also eat this breakfast
on the go if you prepare it in a tightly sealed jar.

Ingredients:

• Oats or spelt flakes, freshly rolled with the Salzburger Flockenmeister
• Soy milk or another plant-based drink (almond, coconut, oat…)
• Cinnamon, vanilla
• Chopped cashews or hazelnuts

Toppings:

• 1 banana
• Honey, maple syrup
• (For more topping ideas, see preparation instructions)

Preparation:

In the evening, process the oats or spelt into fresh flakes using the Salzburger Flockenmeister.
Then, put them in a jar or a nice bowl with cinnamon or vanilla and the nuts. Let them soak in the plant-based
milk overnight. Follow the general rule of thumb: 1 part flakes to 3 parts liquid (1:3). You should then place
the breakfast in the refrigerator so the oats can properly absorb the liquid over the long period.

The next morning, the oats will be perfectly soaked, and you can refine them with various toppings.
There are truly no limits to your desires and creativity. A mashed banana mixes very well into the porridge
and gives it a natural sweetness. If it’s still not sweet enough for you, refine your breakfast with a little
honey or maple syrup.

Nuts, chia seeds, raisins, coconut flakes, cashews, or dried fruits not only taste delicious but,
when nicely garnished, are a feast for the eyes. Fresh fruits like berries, apples, or mango are especially tasty.
To create a chocolatey note, you can also use some cocoa powder.

As you can see, there are no limits to your mood, and with the many possible variations,
your breakfast won’t get boring anytime soon.

We wish you a good start to the day!
