Overnight Oats with grated apple and blueberry
I am always looking for something different to eat for breakfast seeing as I no longer eat bread and so toast and jam is off-limits to me.
How I miss my toast and jam.
Most morning consist of the same thing, my favourite gluten-free muesli in a bowl with some extra seed and nuts added. Occasionally I will eat an egg (hello holidays) and in winter I opt for porridge.
My own homemade almond and honey muesli is also a bit of a favourite ( I added cocoa powder this time around yum!) but tends to get forgotten once the jar is empty and I get busy at term time.
So when I was offered a beautiful bowl of overnight oats with grated apple earlier in the year while camping, I was pleased to have discovered something simple, new and good.
Here is my own version of the recipe for overnight oats with grated apple. It is very easy to make although you need to leave time for the oats to soak, preferably overnight.
You will see I have jazzed my recipe up a little bit some berries and orange segments to serve. Feel free to add whatever you love or whatever happens to be in season.
Overnight oats with grated apple
2 cups of rolled oats
2 cups of milk
1 teaspoon of mixed spice
vanilla
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
Cover and leave it in the fridge overnight.
In the morning, add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and 1 freshly grated apple. Stir through.
Scatter over some toasted almonds, hazelnuts, pepitas and coconut flakes- 2 handfuls should do it.
Serve with a big dollop of yoghurt on top and some fresh fruit.
Enjoy
