Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 200g porridge oats
- 50g chia seeds
- 600ml unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Fruit & Toppings
- 125g punnet raspberries
- 250g punnet blueberries
- 100g almond yogurt
- 20g flaked almonds, toasted
- 8 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (for serving)
Instructions
- Combine Oats and Chia: Tip the oats and chia seeds into a bowl. Pour over the 600ml unsweetened almond milk and add the vanilla extract. Stir well to combine and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb some of the liquid.
- Prepare the Raspberries: Reserve 16 whole raspberries for topping. Crush the remaining raspberries into the oat mixture to infuse it with their flavor and natural sweetness, then mix gently to distribute.
- Assemble Oats in Serving Dishes: Spoon the oat and berry mixture evenly into four tumblers or sundae dishes. This layered presentation will make for an attractive and ready-to-eat breakfast or snack.
- Add Yogurt and Berries: Top each serving with a generous spoonful of almond yogurt. Then add the reserved raspberries and the blueberries on top for a combination of creamy and fresh fruity flavors.
- Chill Overnight: Cover the dishes and place them in the refrigerator to chill overnight or until ready to serve. This chilling step helps the flavors meld and creates a pleasing texture.
- Serve with Almond Milk and Toasted Almonds: When ready to eat, pour 2 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk over each serving and scatter the toasted flaked almonds on top to add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor.
Notes
- Using unsweetened almond milk keeps the recipe naturally low in sugar.
- Overnight soaking allows both oats and chia seeds to soften, creating a creamy texture without cooking.
- Toasted flaked almonds add a nice crunchy texture contrast.
- This recipe is perfect for meal prep as it can be made the night before for a grab-and-go breakfast.
- For added sweetness, consider a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, if desired.
- Make sure to cover the containers well to prevent any fridge odors from affecting taste.
