As Jen’s son is becoming more independent, he has started preparing overnight oats so that he can have an extra couple of minutes in bed in the morning. This is a basic recipe for one person that is easy to adapt for more people and according to your family’s preferences.
Ingredients:
- 50g oats, gluten-free if necessary
- 100ml apple juice
- 1 apple, grated
- 2 tbsp yoghurt, dairy-free if necessary
- Handful of blueberries
Method
- The night before, put the oats and apple juice in a bowl, stir and cover. Leave in the fridge overnight.
- The next morning stir the oats mix and add more apple juice as needed. Stir in the grated apple. Add the yoghurt and blueberries.
Team Tip:
You can make this your own by replacing the apple juice with water, milk or another juice of your choice and/or substituting the grated apple and blueberries with other fruits (bananas are easy to slice in the morning for example) and your selection of dried fruit, nuts and seeds.
**Always check the ingredients of any food you’re cooking with to make sure it doesn’t contain something you or your child should avoid.
