Coconut and Apple Overnight Oats

I can think of few things better than breakfast that quietly and merrily makes itself – and this is pretty much that. Basically, you eyeball oats, creamy coconut milk, sweet apple, a handful of nuts and seeds into a jar, then add the gentlest hint of cinnamon and pop them in the fridge overnight. You wake up to the most delicious, plumped-oats goodness and it’s the loveliest way to start a day. Give this a try soon!

Ingredients

Cooks in:Fridge overnight Serves:2

2/3 cup whole rolled oats (certified gluten-free if necessary)
1 cup coconut milk (or half coconut milk and half water, or nut milk)
1 level tsp cinnamon
1 grated apple
3 Tbsp mixed seeds
3 Tbsp mixed nuts
Small handful of coconut flakes, to serve
Extra chopped fresh apple, to serve
Fresh berries, to serve (optional but pretty and delicious)

What to do

1. Layer all of the ingredients into two glass jars, or a bowl with a lid, and refrigerate overnight.

2. Scoop everything greedily straight out of the jar the next day, or add to a bowl and garnish prettily with the extra toppings. Loosen with a little extra milk of your choice and sweeten with a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you like.
