Ingredients

Base (Prepare the Night Before)

  • 50g Rolled Oats → Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture. (Avoid steel-cut oats.)

  • 120ml Semi-skimmed Milk → Or swap for water. Plant-based options like oat, almond, or coconut milk also work beautifully.

  • 1 tbsp Chia Seeds → For a creamy, thick texture with added fibre and protein.

  • 1 tbsp Maple Syrup → Natural sweetness.

  • ¼ tsp Ground Cinnamon → Adds warmth and subtle spice.

  • Pinch of Salt → Enhances flavour.

Toppings (Add in the Morning)

  • 50g Blueberries

👉 Feel free to mix it up: try dark chocolate, yoghurt, or crunchy nuts for variety.
