Princess Diana's Overnight Oats
About this recipe
Princess Diana's Overnight Oats are a healthy and delicious breakfast option that she enjoyed almost every morning. This recipe combines rolled oats with freshly squeezed orange juice, Greek yogurt, and a variety of fruits and nuts, making it a nutrient-packed start to the day.
What sets this version apart is the use of orange juice for soaking the oats, which adds a refreshing citrus flavor. Plus, the addition of Greek yogurt provides a protein boost, making it a well-rounded meal.
Ingredient notes
- You can use pin head oats, but avoid quick oats as they won't yield the same texture.
- The honey crisp apple should be grated with the skin on for added texture and flavor.
Tips from Darren McGrady's video
- Soak the rolled oats in freshly squeezed orange juice overnight to allow them to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Fold in the Greek yogurt gently to maintain a creamy texture without overmixing.
- Feel free to customize with different fruits or nuts based on your preference, but this classic combination is what Princess Diana loved.
