Oat Blend:

• 2 cups rolled oats

Method

1. Make the Berry Jam:
In a small saucepan, add berries, lemon juice, salt and maple syrup. Cook over low heat, stirring and mashing with a fork until it reaches a jammy texture (5–7 minutes). Set aside to cool.

2. Blend the Oats:
Add all oat blend ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.

3. Layer it Up:
Spoon a layer of berry jam into jars or containers, followed by the blended oat mixture. Repeat layers if desired.

4. Optional Sweet Finish:
Top with a thin layer of melted dark chocolate and chill in the fridge to set.

5. Store:
Keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. Perfect for breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up.

My Tips:

Protein Boost: Use a protein powder you love the taste of this will make or break the flavour.

Chocolate Layer Tip: Melt dark chocolate with a dash of coconut oil for a smooth, easy-to-spread layer.

On the Go: Pour into jars for the perfect grab-and-go breakfast option.
