Chickoo + Date Overnight Oats

Breakfast,Old Recipe Breakfast

Chickoo, dates and almonds make for an ideal combination of protein, energy and sugars. I use pumpkin seeds in this, mostly for its striking green contrast against the browns! I haven’t put in chocolate chips here, but I would recommend adding them for a richer taste. I try to eat this concoction the most often, simply because of the wonderful goodness that exists in the dates – it’s great for your blood, anaemia and provides you great energy to start the day with.

This particular flavour has been found to be most favoured amongst the older generation – maybe now you can convince your grandparent to start his/her day with oats.

Plum season is here and a poached plum is quite desirable in the cool early mornings. pairing with good old fashioned oatmeal, i love this hearty breakfast. i drizzle more honey than necessary to combat the tart plums, and the crunch of pistachios on top is the best!

Oatmeal in a mithai flavour format? This is a real killer with the elderly who love sweets, but need a bit of fibre alongwith. I make the oatmeal the old-fashioned way in water with a pinch of salt, and for flavour i char-grill pineapple bits, add kesar, elaichi, badam and pista. If you like, add a dash of malai at the end and stir well! All the richness without the guilt!

Many of you have tried our Black Sesame + Cinnamon Trail Mix as a great snack, but being a recipe developer, I always find ways to add a few spoon full into various recipes. I love adding the crunchy bits into salads, but what this snack really works for is breakfast. This snack mix has caramelised bits of oats and black sesame separately, which works like a granola, along with pumpkin seeds, soya beans and delicate rose petals and so it is my go-to option for rushed mornings, and especially during hot summer mornings. A quick whisk of Greek yoghurt with Eucalyptus Honey, vanilla bean and a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom powder and top it with some juicy mango slices and a big spoon of the trail mix which give me the right amount of energetic boost in the morning!
