Calories: 574kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup oats (rolled oats, gf if required)
- 1 cup coconut milk (pouring milk from a carton, not a can)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
For the apple topping
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1 apple diced into small pieces
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 teaspoon desiccated coconut
Instructions
- Combine the oats, coconut milk, chia seeds, cardamom and maple syrup in a container that can be sealed. Stir very thoroughly and leave in the fridge, either overnight or for at least two hours. If possible, give it a stir after an hour (add a touch more milk if it seems too dry).
- To make the apple topping, melt the coconut oil in a pan and then add the apple and maple syrup. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until softened. If it becomes too dry then pour in a teaspoon of water.
- Spoon your oat mixture into a glass, jar or bowl, then top with the apples. Sprinkle a little desiccated coconut on top. Enjoy!
Notes
- Add a touch more milk after about an hour if the oats seem too dry.
- If you can give them a stir after an hour or so as this helps them thicken.
- Use rolled oats rather than very fine quick-cook oats. The latter will be too 'gloopy' and have no bite to them after being soaked in the milk.
