About the recipe

AGE APPROPRIATE: When on 2 meals a day
SERVES: 1 adult and 1 child

Benefits:
These oats are a staple in our house - mainly because I can pre-prepare them the day before, making those busy mornings that little bit easier! These overnight oats are soured, which breaks down the phytic acid on the oats, making them a lot easier to digest and allowing the body too readily absorb more of the nutrients.

RSF | NF - can be DF and EF and GF

Stirring Utensil
Fine-mesh strainer
Saucepan

1 cup rolled oats
2 tsp chia seeds
2 tsp hemp seeds
2 tsp flaxseed meal
1 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
1 cup milk or mylk of choice
1 TBSP butter or ghee*
1 egg yolk (Can omit)
1 serve collagen (Can omit)

Optional Extras

½ banana (sliced)
1 Small handful of sliced strawberries, blueberries and/or raspberries
1 TBSP cacao nibs
2 tsp cacao powder
handful of grated carrot
1-2 tsp tahini
1-2 tsp nut butter of choice

Toppings

coconut yoghurt
1 tsp maple syrup
chia seed jam

Add oats, chia seeds, hemp seeds and flaxseed meal into a jar or container and cover with filtered water, add a tsp of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Place a lid or a cover over, and leave overnight (or at least 6 hours).
When ready to cook, rinse the oat mixture under running water until water starts to run semi-clear.
To a medium size saucepan, add the oat mixture, milk of choice, butter/ghee, egg yolk and collagen powder (add any optional extras of choice here also).
Cook the oat mixture on a low heat until thickened and warm, stir occasionally. Add a splash more milk if they thicken too much.

AGE APPROPRIATE: When on 2 meals+ a day

Notes:
**Egg yolk, collagen powder and butter are all optional - these make a great balanced meal but none of the ingredients are necessary to make the porridge work.
**Swaps
- Oats for quinoa flakes for GF
- Butter for ghee or coconut oil or nut butter
- Egg yolk/collagen for nut butter or tahini
- You can omit flaxseed meal/hemp seeds/chia seeds and this porridge will still work fine. These are just for the nutritional benefit!

This will last 2-3 days in the fridge
Also makes a delicious portable meal if you pop it in a jar for lunchboxes or to take out with you.
