berry chia jam overnight oats


Ingredients

serves 1

Overnight oats

  • 45g Gluten free oats

  • 145g dairy free yoghurt

  • 2 tbsp collagen powder

  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed

  • 1/2 tbsp cashew nut butter (unsweetened)

  • 1-2 tsp vanilla extract

Berry jam

  • 90g berries (fresh or frozen) - I used a mixture of blueberries and raspberries

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 2 tbsp water

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)

To serve I added a few berries and bee pollen


Make the overnight oats by mixing all the ingredients thoroughly together. Place in an airtight container and leave overnight in the fridge

Make the berry chia jam. Add all the ingredients except the maple syrup to a saucepan. Stir well and heat on a low to medium heat for about 2-4 minutes so that the berries simmer gently but not boil.

Turn off the heat and leave to cool. Transfer to an airtight container and leave in the fridge overnight.

Assemble to pudding in layers and top with a few extra berries, nuts or bee pollen

TIP - I make double portions as this stores in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container.
