Persimmon Overnight Oats with Ginger, Cinnamon & Almonds

This persimmon overnight oats with ginger, cinnamon and almonds recipe is the height of fall ~ sweet, creamy, and perfect for a cozy breakfast.

These persimmon overnight oats with ginger, cinnamon and almonds came together when I was looking for flavors that complement the neutral but sweet taste of persimmons. The ginger gives it a little kick and the cinnamon brings in some warmth for chilly mornings. You can certainly cook this up and make it warm, or keep it in the fridge overnight like I do and eat it cold (or warm it up too). It’s a very versatile recipe.

Types of Persimmons

Mostly, I know of 2 types of persimmons. This asian fruit comes in the Hachiya variety, which is more oval in shape and makes a great pudding. The Fuyu persimmons are what I use in this recipe here, and I love eating these raw, mostly. They have orange flesh that’s sweet, and is best eaten when the fruit gives a little when squeezed. You definitely want to peel them, and eat the sweet flesh inside.

One little note, I love how when sliced horizontally, you can see a star pattern (please see in the photo below). When you bite into a whole persimmon and almost pull with your teeth, some of the sections want to come out one at a time, in that star pattern. Pretty sweet 🙂
