Happy Monday, buds!
It was one of those weekends here where I felt like I blinked and missed it.
Most notably, I finally saw Aquaman (loved it!) and probably set a world record for errands run in a Saturday.
How was your weekend?
Can I interest you in a red velvet-inspired breakfast make your busy week and little less busy and lot tastier?
These Red Velvet Overnight Oats with Raspberry Beet Purée taste like the chocolate cake with simple ingredients that you mix together the night before.
Grab a mason jar and let’s mix things up.
Are you an F&V OG???
If you’ve been following me for a while, you might have seen these Red Velvet Overnight Oats with Raspberry Beet Purée pop up on my Instagram feed circa 2018.
I shared them last year on Valentine’s Day along with simple recipe, but that one day of love just wasn’t enough for these lovely oats.
They’re thick, chocolate-y, lightly sweet, and packed with protein and texture.
I think you’ll support my decision to share the recipe on the blog so it can have a forever home here.
An easy 2-ingredient raspberry-beet purée made with roasted beets and fresh raspberries is the secret to achieving that red velvet color and flavor.
Earthy sweet beets paired with tart raspberries and raw cacao powder are the trifecta of dessert flavors here, lightly sweetened with maple syrup.
If you’re looking for a lower sugar option, you can omit the maple syrup out entirely and add extra berries, but I think it tastes best included.
The raspberry-beet purée below makes extra, so try doubling or tripling the oats recipe to make multiples for the week!
You can also enjoy the purée in smoothie bowls, yogurt parfaits, oatmeal, toast, or baking.
Prep these Red Velvet Overnight Oats with Raspberry Beet Purée whenever you’re in the mood to treat yourself to cake for breakfast in the coming days.
I like to add 1-2 Tablespoons of chocolate protein powder to mine or an extra boost of protein and cocoa flavor.
For toppings, I went with fresh raspberries, chocolate grain-free granola, and chopped dark chocolate, but anything goes!
Usually I stir in a spoonful of neutral nut butter here, too, like almond or cashew.
Enjoy!
