Pear and cinnamon overnight oats

After realising I really love the creamy texture of the soft oats and seeds with a crunch of nuts and fruits, I have had a few experiments around flavour combinations.

This version is particularly autumnal with pear and a hint of cinnamon. Added organic whey makes a good high protein breakfast, but this is optional.

Overnight oats are soaked and therefore easier on the digestive system, I really like the convenience of having the oats in the fridge, they can be made in bulk for 2 - 3 days in advance so extremely good for saving time.

Sometimes I heat the oats up before I eat them - they have a creamier texture than porridge but are still just as warming on these cold autumnal days.

Ingredients:

30g organic porridge oats

200ml milk

1 tsp chia seeds

1 tsp flax seeds

1 tbsp greek yogurt

1/2 tsp cinnamon 

25g organic protein Co- vanilla whey- optional

• Mix the above and leave in the fridge overnight

• In the morning gently heat if you would like

• Then add:

1/2 chopped pear

Handful of blueberries

1 tbsp flaked almonds or nuts of your choice

Maple syrup or honey to taste. 

That’s it!
