Oats
Berry compote
On the day
Method
- Tip the berries and water into a small pan. Cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes until jammy. Leave to cool.
- Stir the oats, milk, yoghurt, chia seeds, maple syrup and vanilla together in a large jug or bowl.
- Divide the oat mixture between five 350ml jars or containers.
- Spoon the cooled compote over the top of each. Put the lids on.
- Chill overnight, or for at least 4 hours, before eating. Top with banana and nuts on the day.
Notes
These keep for up to 4 days in the fridge and aren't suited to freezing, so make a fresh batch each week. Add the sliced banana on the day, as it browns. Use certified gluten-free oats if you need to avoid gluten. Use a plant milk and yoghurt to make them vegan.
