Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Rolled Oats: These are the base of your overnight oats, providing fiber and texture. If you need a gluten-free option, look for certified gluten-free oats.
Chia Seeds: They help thicken the oats and add healthy omega-3 fatty acids. If you don’t have chia seeds, you can use ground flaxseeds for a similar effect.
Milk: I love using almond milk for a nutty flavor, but any milk works—cow’s milk, oat milk, or coconut milk will all do the trick.
Greek Yogurt: This adds creaminess and protein. If you’re dairy-free, coconut yogurt is a great alternative.
Hazelnut Spread: Nutella is a classic choice, but try using sugar-free or homemade hazelnut spread for a healthier version.
Ferrero Rocher Chocolates: These are essential for the Ferrero Rocher vibe. If you’re looking for a lower-calorie option, chop some chocolate-covered hazelnuts instead!
How Can I Get the Perfect Texture for My Overnight Oats?
The key to great overnight oats is letting them soak long enough. Here’s how to achieve that perfect silky texture:
- Use a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid. This prevents spills and keeps everything fresh.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly so the oats and chia seeds are evenly soaked.
- Be mindful of the liquid: If you prefer thicker oats, stick to the recipe. For creamier oats, add a bit more milk before serving.
- Don’t skip the overnight soaking! Six hours is a must, but many people find they taste even better after a full night in the fridge.
With these tips, you’ll wake up to a delicious and satisfying breakfast ready to go!
How to Make Ferrero Rocher Overnight Oats
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp hazelnut spread (like Nutella)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp crushed toasted hazelnuts
- 3 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, for topping
- Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 10 minutes of prep time, plus at least 6 hours to chill and soak in the fridge overnight. It’s perfect for prepping the night before, so you can wake up to a delicious breakfast without any hassle!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl or jar, mix together the rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt if desired. This will be the dry base for your overnight oats.
2. Mix in Wet Ingredients:
Add the milk, Greek yogurt, hazelnut spread, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Use a spoon or a whisk to stir everything together until well combined and smooth.
3. Add Crunch:
Gently fold in the crushed toasted hazelnuts to give your oats an extra crunch and elevate that nutty flavor!
4. Refrigerate Overnight:
Cover your bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the fridge. Let it sit overnight (or at least 6 hours) so that the oats and chia seeds can soak up the liquid and soften.
5. Ready to Serve:
In the morning, take the oats out of the fridge and give them a good stir. If they’re too thick for your liking, simply add a splash of milk to loosen them up.
6. Top it Off:
Scoop the overnight oats into a serving glass or bowl, and then decorate the top with whole Ferrero Rocher chocolates, fresh berries, and any remaining crushed hazelnuts. It’s all about that presentation, right?
7. Enjoy:
Your Ferrero Rocher Overnight Oats are ready to be enjoyed! Dig in and relish this delightful breakfast that tastes like dessert!
This recipe captures the indulgent flavors of Ferrero Rocher through creamy oats and delightful crunch—perfect for a yummy, no-cook breakfast treat!
Can I Use Instant Oats Instead of Rolled Oats?
Instant oats can be used in a pinch, but they will absorb liquid much faster and may result in a mushier texture. If you prefer the chewy texture of rolled oats, stick with them for the best experience.
How Can I Make This Recipe Vegan?
To make Ferrero Rocher Overnight Oats vegan, simply substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or a plant-based yogurt, and use maple syrup instead of honey. Ensure your hazelnut spread is dairy-free as well!
Can I Store Leftover Oats?
Yes! Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just give them a stir before eating and add a splash of milk if needed to freshen them up.
How Can I Make This Recipe Lower in Sugar?
To reduce sugar, cut back on the honey or maple syrup or omit it entirely if the hazelnut spread is sweet enough for your taste. You can also use a sugar-free hazelnut spread for an even healthier option!
