chocolate hazelnut overnight oats in jar

Deliciously Ella's recipe for hazelnut and chocolate overnight oats tastes like you're eating Nutella for breakfast but it's actually packed full of nutritious ingredients. Suitable for vegans.

This is a collaborative post with Quaker Oats*.

Why you should try overnight oats

I make overnight oats, or Bircher muesli, most days. They are so simple to make - all you need to do is soak oats in milk overnight in the fridge and you have a delicious breakfast.

I often put dried fruit in to soak with the oats, grate an apple to put in, and top with fresh fruit, nuts and seeds in the morning. It's also amazing with granola on top - try it!

I even make it with carrots in sometimes.

My two eldest children aren't all that keen, but baby S is as much of a bircher addict as me and if I don't get breakfast on the table quickly enough he screams "BIRCH" at the top of his voice until it's in front of him.

Deliciously Ella's overnight oats

Quaker Oats* has teamed up with Deliciously Ella to encourage people to try overnight oats and Ella has created some delicious recipes for the oat company.

I tried out her recipe for hazelnut and chocolate overnight oats. What a taste sensation - honestly it was like eating Nutella out of the jar, just healthier. So good.

If you're a fan of Nutella you have to try this for breakfast.

    My favourite way to use oats at the moment is as overnight oats, which I absolutely love! I usually make some on a Sunday night and then take a small bowl to work each day, as a snack. There are so many different combinations but, as a base, I use a little greek yoghurt in mine with a teaspoon or two of honey and some raisins 🙂

    I'm definitely behind the times because i've never tried overnight oats, I enjoy oats in a traditional bowl of steaming hot porridge 🙂 (though it's not great when the weather is hot!)Angela x

      Angela, you must give overnight oats a try! They're so much better in summer (in my opinion) than hot porridge, plus no cooking needed! X
