Decadent apple crumble overnight oats

Oats are rich in fibre and contain avenanthramides, compounds that help reduce inflammatory signals from blood vessel cells.

This dish is an easy, healthy option you can prep the night before, packed with fibre from hearty oats and an omega-3 boost from nuts and seeds.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant milk, plus more to thin out if desired
  • peanut butter, 1 Tbsp for each bar
  • ½ cup walnuts, for topping
  • sliced almonds, for topping
  • 1 handful of berries of choice, optional
  • ½ sliced apple, for topping
  • granola of choice, for topping (sugar-free one recommended)
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 1 cup apple, grated or chopped small

Method

  1. Add oats, milk, yoghurt, chopped dates, chia seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt into a
    jar or storage container with a lid.
  2. Stir ingredients (not the toppings) together, then place in the fridge overnight or fora minimum 2-4
    hours to soak well.
  3. Remove from the fridge and stir to loosen.
  4. Add some more milk if it’s too thick/dry. Now add toppings and enjoy the deliciousness!
  5. You can also heat your oats in the microwave for 45-60 seconds or in a saucepan over medium heat.
