Hidden Veggie Overnight Oats – 2 variations

Today you get not one but two ways to make hidden veggie overnight oats. Plus when you master the base recipe you can experiment with your own flavour and veggie combos. Really the only limits are your imagination and maybe taste buds! I wouldn’t try broccoli in these, would you?!

If I don’t eat eggs and greens for breakfast, I eat oatmeal. However, lately, I always feel like something is missing from the meal. It feels unbalanced because there aren’t any veggies. Somehow with age or perhaps preference, I need a vegetable for a meal to feel complete. Thus hidden veggie overnight oats were created.

Allergy Friendly Veggie Overnight Oats

Hidden Veggie Overnight Oats check all the boxes: allergy friendly, gluten free, dairy free, get a serving of veggies in a sweet breakfast, filling, and makes you ready to conquer anything the day brings!

The base for these overnight oats is coconut milk and steamed sweet potato or cauliflower plus the water used in the steaming process. Add in your oats and flavour, either turmeric or cocoa. Let the oats hang out overnight in your fridge. When you serve them top with your favourite things like coconut flakes, a fruit of choice, maple syrup, or nuts if you can eat them.

If you can’t do coconut I would swap in a full-fat milk alternative to make it allergy friendly for you.
