Breakfast is a very important meal of the day and for me its nice to have something special which is also good for the gut! Gut friendly overnight oats are just the thing to start your day in a healthy way.
- 100g raw oats (preferably organic)
- 1 apple
- 30g goji berries
- 15g chia seeds
- Handful of pumpkin seeds
- 200ml oat milk (or any milk you prefer, preferably not dairy)
- 30g berries (fresh when in season, otherwise frozen)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or coconut sugar
Method
Mix the oats, gogi berries and chia seeds together. Wash and grate the apples and mix through the oat mixture. Add the milk to the mixture and combine thoroughly. Cover and leave in the fridge overnight.
The following morning place the berries and maple syrup in a saucepan with a little water and bring to the boil. Simmer at a low heat for about 5 minutes, remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Dish up however much of the overnight oats as you want, and add a little milk if you feel the oats is too dry. Pour the berries over the oats, as well as the pumpkin seeds. You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon if you want. Now, enjoy your wonderfully healthy breakfast, knowing you are good to yourself!
