Hello everybody, welcome to Amanda Tastes.
I've made several breakfast episodes before
all trying to make breakfast within 15 mins
Even so, many of my audience still said that
they were too lazy to spend even 1 min in the morning
So this time I'll make various flavours of overnight oats in jars
that just need to be prepared one night in advance
and then ready to eat the next morning
I think they suit moms who are very busy in the morning
Actually, overnight oats served in jars
have been popular for years in some countries
due to their convenient nature
Now let's make some yogurt first
In some of my previous video I used commercial yogurt as one of the primary ingredients
This time I use yogurt-specific bacteria powder
First pour the powder into the jar of the yogurt maker
evenly mixed with a little bit of milk
And then add more milk until the jar's full
The ratio of bacteria powder to milk should be indicated on the packaging
Note that the quality of the milk needs to be good enough to make yogurt
I recommend using pure milk without additives
because if the content of milk protein is too low
or if there's antibiotics in the milk
then the final product would be affected
Next, pour hot water into this non-electric yogurt maker according to the scale mark
and put the jar that contains the bacteria-milk mixture into the yogurt maker
It needs around 10 hours to get fermented
Now the yogurt has been made
This large jar is full of it
After that, we can also make some Greek Yoghurt.
You basically filter the yogurt you just made
to get rid of some milk serum
Like this, you scoop some yogurt onto a sheet of filter paper or gauze
with a strainer underneath
and another sheet of filter paper or gauze on the top
Then, find something heavy to put on top of everything
What I'm using is this glass chunk normally used to pickle veggies
Then, put the thing in fridge and let the yogurt get filtered overnight
and then you get this semi-solid yogurt-cheese
If it was filtered for a shorter period of time, then it'd be Greek yogurt
Please don't throw away the milk serum that's been filtered out
because you could drink it directly or apply it on face for skincare purposes
Alright, next, let's make the first flavour
which is caramel-apple oats
First, cut brown sugar into bits
peel an apple and dice it
put one slice of butter into a pan and melt it
Then, put the apple dices in it
and also the brown sugar crumb
Keep frying them until the the edges of the apple dices turn into caramel
Now mix the yogurt and milk in a small bowl
Put oats into a glass jar first
Both traditional and instant oats will work here
And mix them with milk and yogurt
Then add some caramel apple dices, and then some more oats
as well as milk and yogurt- layer by layer like this
And then store it in fridge overnight
The next day before you eat it, you could add some cashew- or peanut-butter over the top
and a few slices of fresh apple
Alright, now comes the second flavour:
banana-cocoa oats
First, again, mix milk and yogurt
and add some honey
since the home-made yogurt doesn't contain sugar
Mix cocoa powder and oats
and put them into a glass jar
Stir the stuff around a bit
Add banana slices, and then oats
and then milk, yogurt, and banana
Add things in layers like this
Lid the jar
Store it in fridge overnight
And the next day, just pull it out and eat it directly
The next flavour is prepared for "coffee-addicts"
First, espresso
Add milk and mix
I don't add yogurt for this one
So instead, I'd add a bit of chia seeds
to increase its thickness
Stir them among the oats and put them into a glass jar
And then just pour coffee milk directly in
Store it in fridge overnight
The next day when you're about to eat it,
you could add a spoonful of the Greek yoghurt we made before
Sprinkle a bit of chocolate chips
and a bit of coco slices, and done
Alright, this next version is oats with fresh fruits
You could still add some chia seeds to the oats
And put them into a glass jar
Pour the milk-yogurt mixture
and stir them around a bit
Store it in fridge overnight
The next day before you eat, add some fruit cubes
and then greek yoghurt, and then some more fruit cubes
If you worry that it might not be sweet enough, you could add some honey
And it's done!
Next, let's make a purple sweetpotato flavoured one
First add some honey into the milk and stir them around evenly
Add some chia seeds to the oats
Mix them with the milk
And put them aside for a while
letting the oats absorb some moisture
Then, steam some purple sweet potatoes
After they're done, let them cool down a bit and then peel them
Dice them casually
Put them into a blender
and add milk and a bit of honey
Blend them into sweet potato mash
Now the oats should've been a bit sticky and thick
Layer the oats and the sweet potato mash inside a cup
Store it in fridge overnight
The next day when you're about to eat it, you could add some yogurt
as well as some random seasonal fruit
In my case I added figs
Now all five flavours have been made
As I mentioned before, oats are always cooked
So no need to worry, they're edible just by sitting overnight(coffee oats & purple sweet potato oats can be heated)
If you prefer to warm them up before eating, then notice that you shouldn't add yogurt
Alright, now those five flavours of overnight oats in jars are all done
There's milk, yogurt, sweet potatoes, coffee, and various fruits
I believe that you'd find at least one type you like
