All this, before the sun has even risen. Iuliia Bondar / Getty Images This experience was not a pleasant one, and therefore, the cheery grin of that double-chinned Quaker beaming at me from his cardboard canister across the breakfast aisle has never worked its charm on me. Recently, I was introduced to the general concept of the princess breakfast. The princess breakfast, as defined by my colleagues at work, can be thought of as any simple breakfast routine dressed up to the nines, sugary-sweet, and overly saccharine. Think yogurt bowls with sweet cherries, dark chocolate shavings, sweetened coconut flakes, whipped honey, and pistachio butter. In other words, the breakfast every sixth-grade girl begged for, but whose parents always forbade. When I scrolled upon TikTok user Karissa Stevens' video chronicling the overnight oats prepared for Princess Diana by her private chef, it literally had princess breakfast written all over it. In the words of one TikTok commenter, "Princess Diana was always that girl." @karissastevens_ / Via tiktok.com Long before its popularity online, the concept of overnight oats was developed in the late 19th century in Sweden by a physician and nutritionist named Dr. Maximilian Bircher-Benner, who ran a sanitarium that served a healthy breakfast of oats soaked in milk and lemon juice, and topped with fruit and nuts known as Birchermüesli, the first overnight oat.

In a YouTube video posted by McGrady in June, he walks us through a recipe for overnight oats that was a favorite of Princess Diana's during this period, making it for her every morning at Kensington Palace.

Tasty Here's what you'll need to make it: Grayson Samuels - 1 cup freshly-squeezed orange juice- 1 cup rolled oats- 1 cup Greek yogurt- 1 Honeycrisp apple- blueberries and walnuts (for topping)- honey STEP 1: The night before serving, add a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice to a bowl filled with a cup of rolled oats. Grayson Samuels Cover the bowl with plastic and let the oats rest in your fridge overnight, soaking up the orange juice and swelling in size. Grayson Samuels STEP 2: In the morning, fold a cup of Greek yogurt into the soaked oats and sweeten with honey. Grayson Samuels STEP 3: Next, grate a quarter of a Honeycrisp apple into the oat mixture, stirring to combine. Grayson Samuels STEP 4: Scoop the oats into a bowl, and finish off the dish by topping with blueberries and walnuts. Grayson Samuels The great thing about a breakfast like this is its versatility. I took the framework and built around it, substituting blueberries for blackberries and walnuts (too bitter for my taste) for an almondy granola. To make it a true princess breakfast, I added a scoop of pistachio butter as well. The results were delicious, and any bland memories of early-morning continental breakfasts were rewritten by this new approach to oats. Honestly, I was pretty skeptical of this recipe, but I genuinely think I will add this to my breakfast routine. As a yogurt bowl lover, the cup of Greek yogurt really shifts this away from a traditional oatmeal bowl and towards something I'm more familiar with. Because the base of this is so simple, the world is my oyster when it comes to toppings, which is my favorite part of a yogurt bowl. Grayson Samuels As fall approaches, I'm excited to switch up the seasonal fruits I'm going to include in this, and depending on my mood, I can adjust how sweet the bowl ends up being. This recipe really puts the "princess" in princess breakfast. Let me know in the comments if you try this for yourself!
