Raspberry Kefir Overnight Oats

June 6, 2018 by Monique 2 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Raspberry kefir overnight oats are an easy to prepare breakfast that’s full of fibre, probiotic and whole grain goodness. They take about five minutes to prepare and are perfect for busy weeks when you need to meal prep quickly. This recipe has been created in partnership with the lovely people at Table of Plenty!

I’m not quite sure what I was doing for breakfast before I was eating overnight oats. Honestly – what a lifesaver! No cooking, super versatile, easily portable. Overnight oats I love you. Save up your recycled jars guys, because you need to get on board the overnight oats train! And I’ve got the perfect recipe for you; raspberry kefir overnight oats.

This recipe is a simple blend of whole milk kefir, almond milk, rolled oats, chia and a dash of sweetener, all topped off with a generous handful of raspberries. You can use fresh or frozen, but to be honest about 90% of the time I use frozen to make this recipe. They’re cheaper, last for ages and mean that I can make this overnight oats recipe even if raspberries aren’t in season. Frozen raspberries also defrost down into a nice little compote, which I love to stir through the oats.

Of course, you can get fancy and add some extra things into these kefir overnight oats. I like to pop in a sprinkle of cinnamon and some sultanas. And of course, some crunchy toppings!

Table of Plenty Kefir

I used Table of Plenty natural milk kefir in this recipe. This lovely thick kefir has a very short ingredients list – it’s just fresh whole milk and live cultures, that’s it!

If you aren’t familiar with kefir, it is essentially fermented milk. Kefir is made by adding kefir “grains” to milk – the grains actually being little beads of bacteria and yeasts that go about fermenting the milk and creating the kefir. It’s kind of like yoghurt, kind of not. After the fermenting process, you end up with a tart-tasting, probiotic beverage that has a slight fizz/bubble to it.

Kefir is delicious in smoothies or simply drizzled with a little honey and cinnamon and eaten/drunk. And obviously it is delicious in these raspberry kefir overnight oats! They take overnight oats up a level by ensuring you’re getting a dose of probiotic goodness in your morning brekky, plus they make the end result super rich and creamy too. Win win.

*Finally, a little note on oats and “gluten free”. It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted an oats recipe on here, primarily because I’m back in Australia and “gluten free” oats are technically not available here. You can find “gluten free” oats in other countries, as there are different regulations around what is meant exactly by gluten free. If you are in Australia, you can’t label oats “gluten free”, though you can find “uncontaminated” and “wheat free” labelling.

It’s a very confusing topic and I will pop a blog post up about this eventually! For now I will say – if you do not have a medically diagnosed gluten or wheat allergy, you are likely to be okay with oats, and you can purchase “gluten free” (or “wheat free” in Australia) oats if you are sensitive – I do this.  If you are medically diagnosed coeliac, please be 100% certain you can tolerate oats before you eat them (most, but not all, coeliacs are ok). Wow, that was long. Proper blog post coming soon 🙂

Raspberry Kefir Overnight Oats

Raspberry kefir overnight oats are an easy to prepare breakfast that's full of healthy fibre, probiotic and whole grain goodness. They take about five minutes to prepare and are perfect for busy weeks when you need to meal prep quickly. 
Course Breakfast
Categories egg free, gluten free, nut free, vegetarian
Prep Time 5 minutes
Resting Time 4 hours
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 1 serve

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats *use certified gluten free if these are available where you live
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup milk kefir - I used Table of Plenty natural kefir
  • 1/2 cup almond milk or any other milk of choice
  • 1-2 tsp honey or maple syrup, or any other sweetener of choice
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp sultanas - OPTIONAL
  • 1/2 cup raspberries - fresh or frozen

Instructions

  1. Combine all of the ingredients except for the raspberries. Scoop into a jar or other lidded container. Top the mixture with the raspberries - if they're frozen they will have time to defrost. 

  2. Pop the lid on your container and place in the fridge for at least four hours, or preferably overnight. When ready, simply stick a spoon in and enjoy. You can also add extra crunchy toppings or a dollop of yoghurt or nut butter as well.

Recipe Notes

*"gluten free" oats are not available in all countries, as there are different regulations around what is gluten free. If you are in Australia you will find it very difficult to find gluten free oats, as technically you can't call oats "gluten free" in Australia. It's a very confusing topic and I will pop a blog post up about this eventually! For now I will say - if you are medically diagnosed coeliac, please be certain you can tolerate oats before you eat them. 🙂 

*on a lighter note, my favourite additional toppings for these raspberry kefir overnight oats are a tablespoon of peanut butter and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds!

  • | TURMERIC CAULIFLOWER BUDDHA BOWL | In case you missed it in my instagram stories on Thursday...we are HOME with the boys now! 👶👶 You can bet that I have not attempted arranging a bowl this pretty just yet, but I have actually managed to cook, go for a walk, and use a face mask. Can I keep that up?! Who knows. I’ve been awake for far too long today already... Meanwhile, if you’d like to make this turmeric cauliflower bowl (that has a maple tahini dressing) you can find the recipe on my blog here -> nourisheveryday.com/roasted-turmeric-cauliflower-buddha-bowls/ 💙 #buddhabowl #turmeric #eattherainbow #plantbasedfood
  • | GLUTEN FREE VEGAN BUCKWHEAT BREAD | I’m pretty certain that I’m not going to get a shed ton of time to bake things in the first few weeks I’m back at home with the boys, but I am hoping to make a loaf of bread or two. Maybe one savoury, one sweet? -
This Vegan Buckwheat Bread is still the most popular recipe on my website after many years, with hundreds of comments attached to it. I still receive personal emails about it! Honestly, I’m not sure why I bother trying out new things now, because clearly my creativity has already peaked. -
It’s very easy to make, you just combine some flours and seeds together in a bowl, let them sit a bit then bake it. I might be able to manage that at some point! If you want to try the recipe you can find it at nourisheveryday.com/vegan-buckwheat-bread/ #buckwheatbread #glutenfreebread #glutenfreebaking
  • | ALMOND CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE | For those of us with a hankering for chocolate cake on Valentines Day but who only have a few minutes to spare, maybe a chocolate mug cake might take your fancy? This almond flour chocolate cake serves one just perfectly and is ready in no time!
-
This recipe has been getting lots of positive feedback lately so I’m thinking it’s time to sample it again myself! Top with coconut yoghurt and berries. You can find the recipe on my blog at nourisheveryday.com/almond-chocolate-mug-cake-healthy/ ❤️ #mugcake #chocolatecake #glutenfreefood
  • Thank you so much, so so much, for all the sweet messages and support I received on my post yesterday. It is the most heartwarming thing to read. I am going to tell my boys all about it at the hospital today ❤️ And, I’m going to reply to every single one of you, even though it will take me a little while so pls be patient!As I ease back into some social media and blogging stuff, I thought I might start by sharing some snaps and links to my most popular blog recipes over the next few weeks, to remind myself of all the yummy things to cook as much as I’m reminding you guys!
Here’s a bowl of creamy porridge with some of my fave toppings (raspberries, PB and pumpkin seeds). It’s been months since I’ve sat down to a comforting bowl of stove top porridge and even longer since I’ve worn those jeans 😂 But one day I’ll be enjoying both again! #twinmum #newmum #porridge #healthybreakfast
  • 🌟LIFE UPDATE 🌟 You may have noticed (or not) that I completely dropped off social media mid-December 2018. At the time, I had just entered my 3rd trimester of a twin pregnancy.
•
While I was blessed by a relatively easy pregnancy in the early stages, at 24 wks a complication was picked up that worsened in December when I hit 27 wks. I spent almost a month in bed in hospital. I lost all interest in social media, fearing I would lose my babies.
•
Exactly one month and one day ago today, I gave birth to my twin boys. Arriving almost 9 wks early (so at 31+2 wks pregnant), my tiny babies joined us even though I tried my hardest to keep them baking as long as possible.
•
The last few months of my life have been some of the toughest I have ever experienced. There has been anxiety, grief and sadness on a previously unknown scale. But there has also been the deepest amazement, joy and profound love, because I have two little sons to hold. I can’t explain the love I feel. It took me so long to fall pregnant (more on that another time) and I know that there are many beautiful women in this world who long to be pregnant too. •
My little boys are still in hospital, we hope we can take them home soon. I’m not quite ready to start blogging new things again especially as I spend all day at the hospital, but I’m ready to share my news and maybe post the occasional thing on social media. •
Meet my beautiful warriors, Leo and Max. Say a little prayer for them 💙
  • Hello Friday 👋 Another pre-Christmas week gone by and I’m no more organised than I was at the beginning of the week...whoops!
🎄
I had a little rant over on my Instagram stories a few days ago about all the rubbish I seem to see in the media around this time of year. All these articles about low-fat Christmas recipe swaps, how to avoid weight gain, how to lose weight in a week for your upcoming party, how to detox after Christmas Day...and I just want you to know that all of this stuff is useless bullsh*t. 🎄
Just let Christmas be a time you make your favourite foods and share them with people you love. Actually the whole point of a holiday is not about stuffing your face or desperately trying to avoid stuffing your face. Just have what you want (and probably, that will end up being a mixture of things, you’ll end up eating some fruit or a salad/veg or two in there), do what you want and do you know what, soon enough the festive season is gone and so is that opportunity to celebrate! 🎄
Don’t worry about food or diets or weight. Have a “healthy” Christmas by enjoying yourself and enjoying a holiday. It really will all be okay if you DON’T make a low-fat pudding, you eat half a kilo of Christmas ham and you don’t do a “detox” post-Christmas, I promise!! 🎄
(p.s. picture is of my apple zucchini snack cake, a recipe on my blog!) #christmasfood #healthyholidays #eatallthethings #wellbeing
  • 🌱 recipe: Pesto Pulse Pasta with Roasted Zucchini 🌱 We have fallen in love with @sanremopasta Pulse Pasta (#ad) in our house. It's made from legumes like chickpeas, lentils, peas and borlotti beans rather than wheat. As well as making it gluten free, this means it is made of over 20% protein and it's an excellent source of fibre. Not hard to see why it took out Product of the Year 2019 in the rice and pasta category! Luckily it also tastes good and my regular-pasta eating husband loves it too. Try it out in this recipe for Pesto Pulse Pasta! I'll pop the ingredients below and continue recipe in the comments. #SanRemoPasta #pulsepasta #glutenfreepasta #productofyearPesto Pulse Pasta with Roasted Zucchini:Ingredients:
2 cups (measured dried) San Remo Pulse Pasta,
2 tbsp basil pesto,
1 large or 2 small zucchini,
1 lemon,
2 handfuls of rocket,
3 tbsp pine nuts, toasted,
Handful of parmesan cheese (about 25 grams),
Extra virgin olive oil,
Salt and pepper...
  • Just the morning for my Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie which is made with:
✨frozen strawberries ✨cashews
✨oats (optional)
✨vanilla protein powder ✨almond milk (or any milk of choice)
So dreamy and delicious. Full recipe is on my blog (link is in my profile). Meanwhile, I’m headed for a chilled out Sunday, haven’t been feeling too well this week so have been taking it really easy. But considering I haven’t planned anything for Christmas yet perhaps it’s time I got my butt into gear and bought some pressies, so online shopping might be on the cards!! #strawberrysmoothie #strawberryseason #smoothierecipe #healthysmoothie
  • [reposted just now because picture was broken! please like & love again 💕] Probably time for me to share something with a little bit of a Christmas feel to it on here 🎄 These cranberry & date chocolate truffles are so yum especially when you go to the extra effort of dipping them in dark chocolate! Perfect for making in advance of any celebrations, you can keep them in the fridge for ages. Also, someone left a comment on my blog telling me they’re very good if you soak the dried fruit in a little splash of rum first too...so as long as you’re old enough that might be something worth doing too! Have a beautiful Friday! #chocolatetruffles #blissballs #glutenfreefood #chocolatelove #christmasrecipes
