I love developing breakfasts for you that look like dessert – it’s such a nice way to start the day! This sundae combines thick and creamy coconut-vanilla oats with a juicy raspberry chia jam/compote. It’s delicious but also really nutrient-rich as the ingredients are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, iron and fibre making it a great way to fuel you up for the day.
NB: I personally am trying to wean myself off maple syrup (otherwise I end up putting it in EVERYTHING) but if you find the raspberry mixture a little tart, try adding a sweetener of your choice to taste.
Serves 2

Overnight Oats Layer
