Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats

3/4 cup milk of choice

1 tablespoon hemp seeds

1 teaspoon chia seeds

1/4 cup yoghurt of choice (dairy or coconut)

1/2 tablespoon collagen (optional)

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

1 pear

4 prunes

2 teaspoons maple syrup (optional - omit under 2 years of age)

Method

  1. Add the rolled oats, hemp seeds, chia seeds, milk, yoghurt, collagen if using, cinnamon and maple syrup to a jar or container. Stir well to combine.
  2. Place a lid on and refrigerate overnight to allow the oats and seeds to soften and absorb the liquid.
  3. Peel, core and finely chop the pear, then chop the prunes into small pieces.
  4. Add to a small saucepan with a little water and cook over low heat with the lid on until soft and stewed.
  5. Allow the fruit to cool slightly, then spoon over the overnight oats to serve.

Ingredient Swaps:


You can swap pear for apple if needed, though pear is best for constipation.
Prunes can be replaced with dried apricots, but prunes are most effective for digestive support.
Hemp seeds can be omitted or replaced with ground flaxseeds.
Yoghurt can be swapped for coconut yoghurt for a dairy-free option
