Description
These Neapolitan overnight oats are inspired by the ice cream that features vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry layers. In this recipe, layers of vanilla and chocolate overnight oats are topped with strawberry banana soft serve “ice cream” for a healthy, refreshing breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
Vanilla Overnight Oats
- 1/2 cup yogurt (I used organic whole milk yogurt, but you can use coconut or oat for a vegan version)
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 1/3 cup large flake rolled oats
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Tiny pinch of sea salt
Chocolate Overnight Oats
- 1/2 cup yogurt of choice
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 1/3 cup large flake rolled oats
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon cocoa
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup, or more to taste
- Tiny pinch of sea salt
Strawberry Banana Soft Serve
- 2 large ripe frozen bananas, roughly chopped
- 1 cup frozen strawberries, sliced in half
- 1–2 tablespoons tahini
Instructions
- Make the vanilla overnight oats: In a jar or container, stir together the yogurt, milk, oats, chia, vanilla, and a tiny pinch of salt. The salt is optional, but I do find that it helps bring out the flavour of everything else. Secure the lid and refrigerate overnight.
- Make the chocolate overnight oats: In a jar or container, stir together the yogurt, milk, oats, chia, cocoa, maple syrup, and a tiny pinch of salt. Secure the lid and refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning, make the soft serve: Add the bananas, strawberries, and tahini to a food processor fitted with the ‘S’ blade. Process until a smooth, creamy soft serve consistency is reached. This will take a couple of minutes. Scrape down the sides with a spatula, as needed. If desired, place in the freezer for a few minutes to firm up.
- Serve: Layer the vanilla and chocolate overnight oats in two jars or parfait glasses. (I love Weck brand 10-oz jars for this.) Top with the strawberry banana soft serve. Eat!
