Ingredients

scale

1X 2X 3X

• 1 cup porridge oats

• 1½ cup coconut yogurt (or Greek yogurt)

• 2 tbsp maple syrup (honey or agave syrup)

• 1 tsp butterfly pea powder

• 1 tsp matcha powder

• 1 tsp dragon fruit powder

• cookies of your choice

• ½ cup blueberries

Instructions

  Preparing the Oats

  In a mixing bowl, combine the following ingredients: oats, maple syrup and coconut yogurt.

  Stir the ingredients together until they are well mixed. This mixture will serve as the base for your overnight oats. Make sure it's well combined, so the oats absorb the sweetness of the maple syrup and the creaminess of the coconut yogurt. After mixing, cover the bowl and allow it to soak overnight. This resting period will soften the oats and enhance their flavor and texture.

  Dividing the Oatmeal

  The following morning, you'll have a creamy, sweet oatmeal mixture that's ready for the next steps. Divide this oatmeal mixture into four separate bowls. Each bowl will be used to create a different layer in your parfait.



• 3

  First Bowl - White Porridge Layer

  In the first bowl, leave the oatmeal mixture as it is. This unaltered mixture will serve as the white porridge layer in your parfait. It has a natural and creamy taste.



• 4

  Second Bowl - Dragon Fruit Layer

  In the second bowl, add dragon fruit powder to the overnight oats mixture. Dragon fruit powder will provide a vibrant pink color and a sweet, tropical flavor. Mix the dragon fruit powder and oats well to create the pink dragon fruit oats layer.



• 5

  Third Bowl - Matcha Layer

  In the third bowl, incorporate matcha powder into the oatmeal mixture. Matcha is a finely ground green tea powder with a distinct earthy flavor and vibrant green color. Mix the matcha powder and oats together to create the green matcha oats layer.



• 6

  Fourth Bowl - Butterfly Pea Layer

  In the fourth bowl, add butterfly pea powder to the overnight oats. Butterfly pea powder is known for its blue or purple hue and has a mild, floral flavor. Mix the butterfly pea powder and oats to create the blue or purple butterfly pea oats layer.

  Layering the Oatmeals

  To assemble your parfait, you'll need a clear glass or container. Begin by adding the cookies at the bottom and then continue in the following order:

  1. The first layer should be the white porridge oats.
  2. The second layer is the pink dragon fruit oats.
  3. The third layer is the green matcha oats.
  4. The fourth layer is the blue or purple butterfly pea oats.

  Alternate these layers to create a visually appealing and delicious contrast in colors and flavors. Continue until you fill your glass or container.

  Decoration

  To finish off your oatmeal parfait, decorate the top with cookies and fresh blueberries or any fruits of your choice. This adds a pop of color and a delightful texture to your parfait.

Tips

• Use High-Quality Ingredients: Choose fresh and high-quality ingredients, as they will significantly impact the flavor and overall quality of your oatmeal.

• Experiment with Superfood Powders: Don't be afraid to explore different superfood powders. You can try acai, spirulina, or beetroot powder for additional color and nutrients.

• Layering for Visual Impact: The key to this recipe's wow factor is the layering. Take your time to create distinct layers for a visually appealing breakfast.

• Proportions Matter: Ensure you follow the proportions specified in the recipe. It's important to get the balance of oats, yogurt, and sweetener right.

• Mix Thoroughly: When adding superfood powders to the oat mixture, make sure to mix well to evenly distribute the colors and flavors.

• Cookie Selection: Choose cookies that complement the flavors of your oatmeal. Consider flavors like vanilla, chocolate chip, or almond cookies.

• Personalize Your Toppings: Get creative with your fruit toppings. Raspberries, strawberries, kiwi, or banana slices work well to enhance the dish's visual appeal.

Notes

• Preparation Time: While assembling the oatmeal layers is relatively quick, remember to prepare the base mixture the night before, allowing the oats to soak overnight.

• Storage: You can prepare the base mixture and store it in the refrigerator for up to two days. However, it's best to add the superfood powders and toppings just before serving to maintain freshness and presentation.

• Kids' Favorite: This visually appealing breakfast is a hit with kids. It's a great way to introduce superfoods to their diet in a fun and engaging manner.

• Nutritional Benefits: Each layer of this oatmeal offers unique health benefits, thanks to the superfood powders. These include antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that support your well-being.

• Texture Preferences: Adjust the amount of yogurt to your liking. More yogurt will result in a creamier texture, while less will make it thicker.

• Dietary Considerations: If you have dietary restrictions or preferences, feel free to substitute ingredients. For instance, use non-dairy yogurt for a vegan version or gluten-free oats if you have gluten sensitivities.

• Presentation Matters: Take the extra time to present your oatmeal beautifully. This dish is perfect for special occasions or when you want to impress guests with a stunning breakfast.
