Recently I’ve had a conversation with one of my Instagram followers about quick, easy breakfast ideas. The first that comes to mind for me is overnight oats.
 
Fun fact: I used to make overnight oats all the time, but this was a few years ago. Then this week I bought a 500gr tub of fromage frais all for myself, so I thought, why not brush up on my overnight oats making skills?
 
This could be an interesting variation for those of you who are tired of soaking your oats in Greek yogurt. Moreover, fromage frais is less thick than quark or Greek yogurt, so the result is creamy, yet not too dense. Definitely appealing!
 
If you are lactose-intolerant, it works well with a dairy-free yogurt alternative, although you lose the “interesting variation” benefit mentioned above.

Today I want to share a recipe for a chocolate brownie I made by accident.
 
My favourite breakfast is an oven pancake made with banana, egg whites, and wholemeal flour. No jokes, I have it every day. However, I occasionally get bored with it.
 
Now that summer is getting closer and the mornings are getting warmer, I’ve found myself craving ice-cream for breakfast every now and then.
 
This recipe came to me on one of those days. I thought a banana, a pear, and a tub of ice-cream wouldn’t cut it after a pretty hard early morning lifting session.
 
It turned out a lot better than expected, so here it is!
 
Before diving into it, though, I want to say that I’m not one to buy into supposedly “healthier” versions of a “bad” food that never look, feel, or taste like the real thing.
 
For one, I don’t believe in good or bad foods. Moreover, these “healthier” recipes aren’t actually all that healthy.
 
I’m only calling this thing a “brownie” because the texture was really similar, if just a little drier. My hunch is that a riper banana would do the trick.
 
And I’m sharing it because it was delicious, not because you need to have it instead of actual brownies. Have both!
