Creamy vanilla and Earl Grey flavours mix together to make a delicious breakfast that tastes remarkably like this oh so popular beverage. But this breakfast version is packed with protein and whole grains instead of the empty calories that a latte delivers!
The key here is to make yourself some really strong Earl Grey tea because you want the flavour to come through in your oats. 1 tea bag per 1/4 cup of hot water works well. Let the tea steep until the water cools to room temperature (start from boiling) and then remove the tea bag.
Per serving:
🥄 1/3 c rolled oats
🥄 1 c plain Greek yogourt
🥄 5 drops liquid stevia
🥄 1/4 c strong Earl Grey tea, cooled to room temperature
🥄 the scrapings of 1/4 of a vanilla bean pod
🥄 a pinch of salt
Mix all these ingredients together, put a lid on the container and store in the fridge overnight (or up to 5 days).
Vanilla bean pods are pricey and are a bit of a treat. Feel free to substitute 1/4 tsp vanilla extract instead.
