Overnight Oats
with cranberries, almonds and vanilla
This breakfast could not be quicker to prepare in advance, and can also be made up in lunch boxes if you prefer to eat breakfast at your desk. It’s very easy to adapt it to whatever dried fruit or nut options you have in the store cupboard, and the simple combination of good quality vanilla with oats, fruit and milk makes it a winning dish for first thing in the morning. I like to be generous with the vanilla for extra sweetness.
If you want to make it as a gluten-free option, make sure you use gluten-free certified oats. For some reason, I find some of the gluten-free brand oats tend to absorb slightly less liquid, so I’d suggest reducing the quantity of milk by 40ml and then checking to see if it needs topping up as you go.
During the winter, I also substitute frozen berries sometimes if I can’t get hold of fresh fruit.
