This make-ahead breakfast is going to be your new go-to. Think creamy overnight oats, topped with sweet roasted apricots, which makes it perfect to prep ahead for a filling start to your day.

  • No almond milk? Use any milk of your choice.

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes

Total time: 25 minutes

Servings: 2

Ingredients:

4 apricots (halved, stones removed and cut into wedges)

2 tbsp honey

2 tbsp water

2 tbsp blanched hazelnuts

For the overnight oats:

80 g rolled oats (1 cup)

240 ml almond milk (1 cup)

2 tsp chia seeds

2 tbsp Greek yoghurt

Recipe:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas mark 6. Pop the apricot wedges in a baking dish. Add the hazelnuts, then drizzle over the honey and water, and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the apricots are soft and lightly caramelised. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

  2. Meanwhile, divide the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, and Greek yoghurt evenly between two meal prep containers. Stir each container well until everything is combined. You can also mix in a large bowl if that's easier then divide up between the containers.

  3. Top the overnight oats with the roasted apricots, hazelnuts, and spoon over any of the syrup from the bottom of the baking dish. Seal the containers and leave in the fridge overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
