EASY
INGREDIENTS
Ingredients
80g oats
1 carrot finely grated
1 tbsp of chia seeds
1tbsp maple syrup
250ml oat milk / almond milk / 1tbsp dairy-free coconut yogurt
¼ tsp mixed spice
¼ tsp cinnamon
For toppings:
Coconut flakes (optional)
Chopped walnuts (optional)
In a bowl, combine the oats and milk together and stir in the maple syrup. Layer with the shredded carrot and chia seeds and sprinkle with cinnamon and mixed spice.
Divide the cake-flavoured oats between a couple of mason jars or containers and refrigerate, ideally overnight.
Let is sit for at least 2-3 hours to give the oats enough time to soften and soak up all the flavour of the spices. When you’re ready to have them, give them a quick stir and add a splash more milk if needed to loosen the mixture.
Top with crunchy coconut flakes and chopped walnuts for extra crunch and away you go!
