Ingredients

100 g oats
4 T chia seeds
5 T local honey
2 x 350 ml bottles Ayrshire low-fat high-protein milk
½ t salt
cinnamon, to taste

For the cinnamon apples:

3 Granny Smith apples (or any seasonal apple), peeled and cubed
1 T ground cinnamon

1 T honey or Woolworths erythritol and stevia blend sugar

Method

1. Mix the oats, chia seeds, honey, milk and salt in a mixing bowl. Divide between 4 serving glasses or portable containers. Chill overnight to set.

2. To make the cinnamon apples, place the apples, cinnamon and water in a microwave-safe bowl that has a lid. Microwave at 2-minute intervals, until the apples are soft and cooked through. Stir in the erythritol and stevia sugar, mixing until the sugar has dissolved.

3. When ready to serve, remove the oats from the fridge and top with the cinnamon apples.
