We all know the struggle: the morning alarm goes off, you’re short on time, and the idea of making a nutritious breakfast feels like a chore. Enter the Midnight Silk Jar.
It’s the breakfast that tastes like pure decadence but keeps you fuelled and focused all morning long. Plus, it looks absolutely stunning in a Kilner jar—making it the ultimate “grab and go” breakfast for your busy lifestyle.
Why You’ll Love It
This recipe is the perfect balance of rich, dark cocoa and the sharp, bright pop of fresh raspberries. It’s essentially dessert for breakfast, but with a nutritional profile that actually supports your day. The chia seeds and oats provide lasting energy, while the hemp seeds add a lovely, subtle crunch.
What You’ll Need
45g Porridge oats (Jumbo oats work great for texture!)
1 tbsp Chia seeds
120ml Almond drink
1 tbsp Maple syrup
1 tbsp Cocoa powder
A handful of fresh raspberries
Hemp seeds & dark chocolate shavings (for that finishing touch)
The Method
1 Prep the Base: Pop your fresh raspberries into the bottom of your Kilner jar and mash them with a fork to create that vibrant bottom layer.
2 Whisk & Mix: In a separate bowl or directly in the jar, whisk your porridge oats, chia seeds, almond drink, cocoa powder, and maple syrup until it’s perfectly smooth and combined.
3 Layer it Up: Pour your oat mixture over the mashed raspberries.
4 The Fridge Magic: Snap the lid shut and leave it in the fridge overnight. While you sleep, the chia seeds will work their magic, turning the mixture into a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
5 Serve: In the morning, top with extra whole raspberries, a sprinkle of hemp seeds, and a few shavings of dark chocolate.
Pro-Tips for Success
Boost the Protein: Want to turn this into a post-gym meal? Stir in half a scoop of your favourite chocolate protein powder to bring the total protein count to over 20g.
Customise: Don’t have almond drink? Any milk—soy, oat, or dairy—works perfectly!
Texture: If you prefer a thicker consistency, add an extra teaspoon of chia seeds.
