A cheat's version to overnight oats, ready in as little as half an hour!
- Base - a liquid
- You can use yogurt, fromage frais, even ice-cream, preferably plain, natural or vanilla, but any will work. You can even use milk, although you will need much less (unless you have time to wait overnight for them).
- Filling - a flavour (or two)!
- Fresh fruit, frozen fruit, jam, compote, nuts, seeds, nut butters, chocolate spread.
- Oats
- Plain oats, muesli or granola.
- Get creative!
- Enjoy!
-
Collect all your ingredients and a nice glass or narrow bowl.
-
I usually use frozen mixed forest fruits, plain soya yogurt and porridge oats.
-
Add a thin layer of your base into your glass, top with your filling, then sprinkle over a few oats. Repeat this layering. If you are using milk as your liquid, then you will need less and you should swap the pattern so the oats soak into the milk.
-
Get creative and go with a theme, try:
-
Tropical: Coconut yogurt, desiccated coconut, mango puree, mango chunks, granola.
-
Black Forest: Vanilla yogurt, Black cherries, cocoa powder, chocolate chunks, oats.
-
Blackberry & Apple: Natural yogurt, apple compote, blackberries, toasted nuts, muesli.
-
Peanut Butter & Banana: Plain yogurt, peanut butter, banana, crushed peanuts, oats
