Ingredients
- 200 g rolled oats (2 cups)
- 50 g chopped walnuts or pecans (½ cup)
- 4 tbsp ground flax seeds
- 70 g raisins (⅓ cup)
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- Pinch sea salt
- Zest & juice of an orange
- 1 medium carrot grated
- 625 ml milk of choice (2½ cups)
- 125 g natural yoghurt of choice (½ cup)
- 1 tsp vanilla paste
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey optional
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. The extra sweetener is optional so taste the mixture and add in some maple and honey if required.
- Leave to set overnight or for at least an hour.
- Serve with a spoonful of yoghurt and some extra nuts and grated carrot.
Notes
- I used organic soy milk in this recipe, but any milk will work.
- In the morning, you may want to add a little more milk depending how thick the mixture is – this will really depend on which oats you use.
- The nutritional information doesn’t include any additional toppings.
