About this recipe
Overnight berry breakfast with the Thermomix TM7 is the ultimate solution for anyone searching for healthy make-ahead breakfast recipes that taste like dessert. This all-in-one kitchen machine takes care of every detail: the integrated scale weighs your chia seeds, hemp seeds and monkfruit sweetener directly into the mixing bowl, while the grinding function turns fresh pecans into a coarse, crunchy topping without dirtying a single extra gadget. The creamy base of Greek style yoghurt, milk, vanilla extract and cinnamon is whipped until silky and light, then simply layered into jars with fresh blueberries and blackberries and left to rest overnight. As the chia seeds soak, they transform the mixture into a thick, pudding-like texture that keeps you satisfied all morning. Ideal for meal prep Sundays, rushed weekday mornings or a portable office breakfast, this naturally sweetened recipe proves that a wholesome start of the day requires zero early-morning effort from you.
Preparation tips
- Use a coarse grinding setting for the pecans so they keep a satisfying crunch against the soft chia layers; grinding them too finely makes the texture mealy and you lose the contrast with the fresh blueberries and blackberries.
- Layer the jars in this order: berry mixture first, then yoghurt cream, then a second berry layer and finally the pecan hemp seed topping. Keeping the nuts separate until serving prevents them from going soggy overnight.
- If the overnight breakfast becomes too thick for your taste after resting, simply stir in a splash of milk of choice in the morning. Children enjoy it served in small glasses with extra blueberries on top as a fruity afterschool snack.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the Greek style yoghurt with a thick plant-based coconut or soy yoghurt and use oat milk. The chia seeds and hemp seeds provide the same binding and nutrition, so the texture remains wonderfully thick and spoonable.
- Winter festive version: swap the blackberries for thawed forest fruits or diced pear, add a pinch of grated nutmeg with the cinnamon and top with pomegranate seeds for a jewel-toned Christmas-morning breakfast that looks impressive on any breakfast table.
