Weekend breakfasts are my sanity saviours. During the week I am an engergizer battery constantly on the go and always in a rush. It is an absolute treat to sit peacefully by the window with a cup of tea and a bowl of something beautiful. I watch the sky change colours and listen to the birds sing their songs. I reflect on the week that has past and hope for the best in the next.

It is extraordinary how a gorgeous breakfast can set the tone for the day. If only I had the discipline to organise myself every morning for breakfast, then perhaps everyday would be wonderful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why toast the oats instead of using them raw?

The recipe toasts 1/2 cup of rolled oats in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Toasting develops a nutty flavor and gives the oats a light crunch that contrasts with the creamy Greek yogurt, rather than the soft texture raw oats would have.

Can I prepare the toasted oats ahead of time?

Yes. The notes say leftover toasted oats can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week, making it easy to assemble this breakfast quickly on weekday mornings.
