When I was making kiwi smoothie a few days ago, I noticed the pretty pastel yellow hue of the blended golden kiwi in my juicer, so I was inspired to make a kiwi-themed overnight oats. I wasn’t disappointed – this golden kiwi overnight oats is both pretty to look at and very delicious.
With basic overnight oats as the base, I added a layer of sweetened kiwi puree and diced kiwi. I love the simplicity of aesthetics and taste in this one! Just plain oats infused with the sweetness of kiwi, so good.
This is my blended kiwi, which also serves as the main sweetener for my plain overnight oats.
It is made by simply blending cubed kiwi with milk & maple syrup (or honey). Tip: The more ripe the kiwi, the sweeter it is. So use ripe or over-ripe (best) kiwi to blend to enjoy the natural sweetness from the fruit.
The puree infuses kiwi flavour to the oats and sweetens them at the same time. It also adds a pretty layer of pastel gold to the overall presentation of the oats. You can add all of the puree to the oats, or have some at the side to add as you dig in. Remember to stir the oats evenly with the puree before eating.
The basic plain oats keeps well in a covered glass jug in the fridge for up to a week, making it ideal for meal prep. Just add a small splash of milk and stir to loosen up the oats before serving.
The same recipe can be used for regular green kiwi. You can also top the oats with some crunchy nuts.

Sweetener for the oats, so adjust the sweetness according to preference. For best results, use over-ripe kiwi for more natural sweetness.
