Ingredients

  • 2-3 handfuls jumbo porridge oats
  • 2 tablespoons nuts & seeds
  • fresh berries or an apple
  • cinnamon, ginger or nutmeg
  • 2 cups milk (coconut, almond, cow’s milk, etc.)

Method

  1. Simply place the oats and the nuts & seeds into a couple of containers with lids - I like to use kilner jars, because the look lovely, but any container will do.
  2. Grate the apple and divide between the 2 jars, add some berries if you have them, sprinkle on the spices and then top up with the milk. Seal the lid, pop in the fridge overnight and enjoy a healthy breakfast tomorrow morning.
