Dairy-free overnight oats.

I have discovered my new favourite breakfast - overnight oats. Once made, it looks quite similar to regular hot porridge, but taste so different - it's really cold, sweeter and makes a lovely change from the norm'. They are fantastic for people who don't have time to make a proper breakfast in the morning, as porridge can be quite time consuming to make. You don't have to worry about making them in the morning as you can make them the night before, so in the morning they become something you can just grab and eat straight away, or even grab and take with you to enjoy when you get to wherever you need to be. They are very versatile - you can make it dairy-free (as I've done in the recipe below) or use proper milk and yoghurt, and you can use any filling you want (such as banana slices, dried fruits, raisins, cinnamon, golden syrup, fresh berries, sliced apple - anything at all). You can either add the filling in the night before, or add it in in the morning - completely your choice. I have made this recipe twice now, and I will definitely be making it again and again!

This recipe is dairy-free, serves 1 and is approx. 270 kcal (if you use a different filling than I did, just add however many calories your filling contains to 160, which will give you an approx. amount of calories your breakfast contains. If you make this with real milk/yoghurt, it'll be slightly more calories).

Ingredients:
- 200ml unsweetened almond milk
- 1 sachet porridge oats
- 60g plain soya yoghurt
- your choice of filling (optional) - I used a raisin, cinnamon and apple cereal topper, which I bought in Tesco.
- 1/2 tbsp of agave syrup (optional)

You'll also need a cup/jar with a lid.

Method:

1. Pour the almond milk into an empty cup/jar. Add in the oats and your choice of filling (if you'd prefer you can leave the filling out and add this in in the morning after the oats have been left to soak).

2. Place the cup/jar onto some digital scales, and set the scales to zero whilst the cups on it. Pour in 60g plain soya yoghurt. Then squirt in a little bit of agave syrup, if you're using it.

3. Give the oats mixture a stir and place the lid on. Place it in the fridge overnight.

4. The next morning, take it out of the fridge, take the lid off and give it a good stir. You can either enjoy it straight out of the cup or pour it into another bowl. Enjoy! :)
