Get creative with some of my overnight oat recipe ideas starting with the basic formula outlined above:
Apple Pie:
Use apple juice instead of milk and add a pinch of mixed spice to the mixture the night before. The next day mix through chopped raw apple and top with apple slices and chopped toasted nuts.
Raspberry and coconut:
Use coconut water instead of almond milk. The next day stir in a teaspoon of honey and decorate with fresh raspberries.
Chocolate and hazelnut:
Stir a dessert spoon measure of chocolate syrup into the mixture the night before. (I used Sweet Freedom Choc Shot which is plant-based.) The next day top with toasted hazelnuts or go 'Black Forest' and add mixed berries. Bounty bar fans may like to swap almond milk for coconut water (give it a try, I promise it is totally worth it!).
Ginger spice:
Add ¼ teaspoon mixed spice to the basic mixture the night before. The following day add a piece of finely chopped stem ginger and a teaspoon of syrup from the stem ginger jar. Top with thick creamy yoghurt.
