—The Recipe—

Ingredients I used (I tweaked it a bit)

  • Oats layer
    • 23g oats
    • 2g psyllium powder
    • 174g water
    • 50g unsweetened applesauce
    • vanilla extract, cinnamon
    • 50g liquid eggwhite
  • Yogurt layer
    • 100g greek yogurt
    • 2-3g sugar-free jello vanilla pudding powder
  • Jello layer
    • 1 packet Hartley’s orange jello
    • g water

Steps

  1. For the oat layer:
  2. Mix everything except the eggwhites. Microwave for in 1 min bursts (total of around 3 min). [note: be careful, when I followed her instructions of 3min-2min, mine overflowed so ymmv]
  3. Add eggwhites, stir and microwave for 2 min.
  4. For the yogurt layer: Mix.
  5. For the jello layer: Prepare according to the packet.
  6. Layer it up and chill overnight until set!

—My Review—

Pros & Cons:

  • ➕Huge volume!!! Idk about you but it always feels like overnight oats are SO SMALL and it disappears in like 5 minutes, so bulking it out with a crap ton of jello is actually brilliant
  • ➕ Nice creamy textural contrast with the yogurt
  • ➕ V flexible recipe, hard to mess it up really (can definitely substitute stuff like pumpkin, banana, use different sweeteners, etc.)
  • ➕ A good one to prep ahead
  • ➕ Doesn’t need erythritol/xylitol/sugar alcohols
  • ➖ Convenience – A bit of a faff to make, a lot more steps, dishes & time (+risk of oats overflowing in microwave)
  • ➖ The layers don’t hold that well together

✅ Verdict: Rly enjoyed it, would make again for a meal prep

Next time, if I make it again:

  • I might just add some flavdrops with the greek yogurt. I don’t think the pudding powder added that much.
  • Can try coffee jelly (coffee+gelatin) if you don’t have Hartley’s jelly powder
  • Maybe add some berries for more volume & nutrients
  • And some rice krispies for cronch cronch
