Ingredients

• 100g rolled oats
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 250ml soya milk
• 150g soya yoghurt
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 3 mandarins

Method

You’ll need: microwave · frying pan · chopping board · knife · mixing bowl

1. Mix the oats, chia seeds and gingerbread spice in a bowl.
2. Stir in the soya milk, soya yoghurt and maple syrup until there are no lumps left.
3. Divide the mixture between two jars, seal them and chill overnight, for at least 6 hours.
4. Peel the mandarins and separate them into segments. Roughly chop the hazelnuts and toast them in a dry frying pan for 3 min.
5. Stir the oats in the morning and add a splash of soya milk if needed.
6. Top with the mandarins and hazelnuts and eat the oats cold or warmed in the microwave for 1 min.

Good to know

Ten minutes in the evening, and in the morning you just take the lid off. The gingerbread spice soaks into the oats overnight. Mandarins and toasted hazelnuts go on fresh at the end.

Swaps

Soya milk → oat milk (the protein figure is based on soya milk). Mandarins → orange segments. Hazelnuts → walnuts. Maple syrup → 2 chopped dates.

Cooking tips

Stir the oats again after 10 min, or the chia seeds will settle at the bottom. If you like it warm, heat the jar without its lid.

Storage

Sealed, the oats keep for 3 days in the fridge without the topping; add the mandarins and nuts in the morning.
