Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats (for overnight oats base)
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • Fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) – 1 cup
  • 1 ripe banana, sliced
  • 4 large eggs (or tofu for vegan option)
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Whole grain bread for toast
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or basil)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plant-based yogurt for vegan option)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Optional toppings: nuts, seeds, granola

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Frying pan or non-stick skillet
  • Whisk or fork
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Toaster or oven
  • Serving bowls and plates
  • Spatula
  • Glass jars or containers for overnight oats

Instructions

  1. Prepare the overnight oats: In a mixing bowl or individual glass jars, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, and maple syrup. Stir well to combine.
  2. Refrigerate overnight: Cover the jars or bowl and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soak and soften.
  3. Make the vegetable scramble: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If using eggs, whisk them in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. If vegan, crumble tofu and season similarly.
  4. Add vegetables: Sauté chopped spinach and cherry tomatoes in the skillet for 2-3 minutes until softened. Pour in the eggs or tofu and cook, stirring gently, until eggs are softly scrambled or tofu is warmed through.
  5. Toast the bread: While the scramble cooks, toast whole grain bread slices to your preferred crispness.
  6. Assemble the breakfast plate: Spoon the vegetable scramble onto plates, add avocado slices on the side, and sprinkle with crumbled feta and fresh herbs.
  7. Serve overnight oats: Remove oats from the fridge, top with fresh mixed berries, sliced banana, nuts, seeds, or granola for added texture.
  8. Add yogurt topping: Spoon a dollop of Greek or plant-based yogurt on the side of the oats and drizzle with lemon juice for a refreshing zing.
  9. Enjoy immediately: Serve the assembled plates alongside the overnight oats for a complete, celebratory vegetarian breakfast.

Tips & Variations

For a vegan scramble, substitute eggs with crumbled firm tofu and add a pinch of turmeric for color and flavor.

You can swap out the mixed berries for any seasonal fruit like mango, kiwi, or peaches to keep the recipe fresh and exciting all year round. Add a handful of nuts or seeds to your overnight oats for extra crunch and protein.

If you prefer something warm, try heating the oats briefly before serving.

For a savory twist on the oats, omit the sweeteners and top with avocado, cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast. Experiment with herbs like dill or cilantro in your scramble to customize the flavor profile.

Additionally, explore pairing this breakfast with a Classico Sun Dried Tomato Alfredo Sauce Recipe on the side for a creamy addition or finish your meal with a sweet treat like the Cinnamon Pecan Ice Cream Recipe for dessert later.
