Some of us may be new to eating oats like this, but it’s well worth the little effort as this will set you up for the day and it is scrummy!

Serves 4

150g Rolled oats

200 ml apple juice

75g Dried cherries, apricots or raisins

1 Lemon, juice

2 Apples, grated

100ml Natural yogurt

25g flaked almonds or lightly crushed hazelnuts, toasted

50g fresh or frozen fruit (apples, berries)

2–4 Tbsp honey

Method

Place the oats in a dry fry pan and lightly toast over moderate to high heat.  Remove and place into a bowl and add half berries and dried fruit in a bowl and pour over the apple juice and the lemon juice. Leave in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight.

The next morning, peel, core and grate 1 apple and slice the other one if desired.

Into the oat mix, stir in the nuts, yogurt, almonds and grated apple. (The muesli will keep in the fridge for a few days, but don’t stir in the apple until you plan to eat it or it will discolour and can go fizzy in flavour) Transfer the muesli into bowls and top with apple slices and berries; drizzle with honey to taste.
