The breakfast you make the night before and simply take out of the fridge in the morning. Ten minutes of work, eight hours of doing nothing – and the oats turn wonderfully creamy.

Ingredients for 2 servings

2 servings

Convert to grams

  • 100 gRolled oats, fine
  • 200 mlMilk (3.5% fat)
  • 150 gPlain yoghurt (3.5%)
  • 1Apple
  • ½Lemon
  • 1 tbspHoney
  • To serve
  • 150 gMixed berries, fresh or frozen
  • 2 tbspAlmonds, chopped

Contains: Gluten, Milk, Tree nuts

Method

  1. Step 1: Stir the oats together with the milk and yoghurt in a bowl.

  2. Step 2: Coarsely grate in the apple, skin and all, and immediately stir in the lemon juice and honey – this keeps it from turning brown.

  3. Step 3: Cover and leave to soak in the fridge overnight, or for at least 8 hours.

  4. Step 4: In the morning, give it a good stir and add a splash of milk if needed. Top with berries and chopped almonds.

Tips

  • Grate the apple with its skin on – it saves time and adds fibre.
  • Prepare it in screw-top jars and it's ready to take with you straight away.

Swaps

  • Vegan: use oat drink instead of milk and soya or coconut yoghurt.
  • Instead of honey: maple syrup or a mashed ripe banana.

Storage

Keeps for 2 days in the fridge – add the berries and nuts just before eating.
