Mocha Overnight Oats & Mocha Granola

Mocha Overnight Oats & Mocha Granola

A delicious mocha overnight oats recipe topped with homemade crunchy mocha granola – both made using Rheal’s new Mushroom Coffee. Overnight oats has been my go-to breakfast for years. It’s just so convenient to prepare your breakfast the night before and have it waiting for you the next morning. It’s also a healthy option for breakfast – packed with fibre in the oats and by adding things like nut butters and nuts you can get some healthy fats and protein in there too! I always like to have a jar of homemade granola in my kitchen to enjoy as a quick breakfast or snack when I’m feeling peckish and craving something sweet and crunchy. It’s also nice to have something [...]

Easy, no-bake, mix in the same bowl kind of desserts are my favourite. They take less time to prep and leave you with fewer dishes to wash up later on.

Now more than ever we’re looking for small comforts to get us through these unusual and uncertain times.
