Is breakfast the hardest meal of the day for you? Do you struggle with what you can eat now that eggs and cereal are off the menu?
Fact: Breakfast as we know it has only been a meal out of a box since those clever Kellogg brothers marketed the heck out of their corn. And btw, I read an article recently about a study that revealed the box was more nutritious than the contents. What the ..?!
I LOVE my sautéed veggie skillet breakfasts, however we’ve been LOVING my latest recipe, AIP Overnight Oats. I know you’re going to love this quick, easy and satisfying Bircher muesli-style breakfast option. So get the recipe below, give it a try and tell me about it.
Vacation Tip: Make up batches of the dry ingredients to take away. Mix in the wet ingredients the night before you want to eat, then you’ll out sight seeing in no time!
AIP Overnight Oats
Serves 4-6
Print the recipe here!
3/4 cup sliced tigernuts (Canadians, I used these)
3/4 cup toasted coconut flakes
1 cup grated carrot
1 granny smith apple, grated
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground mace
2-3 scoops collagen (optional)
1 x 500ml carton coconut milk
1 cup water
pinch sea salt
To serve (optional) –
coconut yoghurt
wild blueberries
Put all the ingredients into a large bowl and stir well. Push the dry ingredients down into the liquid. Cover the bowl and place into the refrigerator overnight.
In the morning give the mixture a good stir and spoon into your bowl, or into glass jars if it’s To-Go.
To serve, add a little more coconut milk if needed. Top with coconut yoghurt and/or berries if you like.
Keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

You’re a bloody legend!
It’s #bloodyfabulous possum. You need to try it, lol!
Tried this this morning and was pleasantly surprised at how very crunchy it was. It made a really nice change from my usual breakfast, too. Thank you!!!
I’m so pleased you enjoyed it. It really does make a welcome change doesn’t it?
This looks good! Never having bought coconut yogurt, I was wondering if you make your own, and if so how you make it. If not, do you recommend any particular brand?
Best,
Christine
Hi Christine, I bought mine from Whole Foods – it’s by CoYo. Seriously good!
Thank you for this! You are inspiring and so helpful! I’m grateful for the help on this new health journey! And I love connecting with fellow Canadians!
Thanks so much Michelle, you made my day and it’s great to connect with you too!
Hi if I can’t eat coconut what would you suggest in stead of the toasted coconut flakes? Might just try this with whatever apples I have in the fridge..
You can leave the coconut flakes out and bulk up with any of the other ingredients. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
I have tigernut flour. Do you think that would still work or would it be too fine?
It wouldn’t I’m afraid. The tigernut flakes add the texture you want. If you can’t get the flakes but can get whole tigernuts, you could give them a quick pulse in a food processor to break them down a bit.
