Chocolate Raspberry Nutty-Crunch Oats are a simple make-ahead breakfast that combines creamy oats, tangy raspberry yoghurt, and a crunchy mix of seeds and almonds. Preparing them the night before means breakfast is ready to enjoy straight from the fridge, making them ideal for busy mornings, meal prep, or anyone looking for a balanced and satisfying start to the day.

Oats provide slow-release carbohydrates and fibre, whilst Greek yoghurt contributes protein and creaminess. Raspberries add natural sweetness alongside vitamin C and plant compounds called polyphenols, whilst the combination of seeds and almonds provides healthy fats, fibre, and minerals such as magnesium and zinc. A small amount of cocoa powder brings a rich chocolate flavour, creating a breakfast that feels indulgent whilst still being nourishing and practical for everyday life.

Why This Recipe Works

➡️ Complex carbohydrates and fibre come from the oats and raspberries, helping to provide steady energy and support digestive health.

➡️ Protein comes from the Greek yoghurt and optional protein powder, helping to support fullness and satisfaction throughout the morning.

➡️ Healthy fats come from the chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and almonds, helping to create a more balanced and satisfying breakfast.

➡️ Fibre comes from the oats, raspberries, seeds, and almonds, which can help support gut health and keep you feeling fuller for longer.

➡️ Vitamins and minerals: come from the raspberries, seeds, and almonds, including vitamin C, vitamin E, magnesium, and zinc.

➡️ Natural sweetness comes from the raspberries, whilst the cocoa powder adds a rich chocolate flavour without needing large amounts of added sugar.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 90 g rolled oats
• 225 ml milk of choice
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• ½ tsp cocoa powder
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey optional
• 100 g fresh raspberries
• 120 g Greek yoghurt of choice
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

To Top the Next Day

• 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
• ½ tbsp sesame seeds

Method

 

The Night Before

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and protein powder (if using). Stir well until everything is evenly mixed.
2. Add the maple syrup or honey, if using, and stir again.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yoghurt with the vanilla extract. Gently fold through half of the raspberries, lightly crushing some to create a ripple effect.
4. Divide the oat mixture between two jars or containers.
5. Spoon the raspberry yoghurt mixture over the oats and gently swirl with a spoon to create a ripple effect.
6. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

The Next Day

1. Just before serving, top each jar with the remaining raspberries, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and chopped almonds.
2. Enjoy straight from the fridge or allow to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating.

Notes

TNK’s tip

Add the seeds and almonds just before serving rather than the night before. This helps keep them crunchy and adds extra texture to your breakfast. You can also swap the raspberries for strawberries, blueberries, or mixed berries depending on what you have available.
