Instructions

10 steps · tick them off as you cook
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups (200 g) rolled oats, 2 tbsp chia seeds, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

  2. Pour in 2 1/2 cups (600 ml) unsweetened almond milk and 1/2 cup (125 g) plain Greek yogurt; stir until every oat is submerged.

  3. Swirl in 3 tbsp almond butter, leaving a few visible ribbons for texture.

  4. Divide the mixture between 4 jars or containers, seal, and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight to hydrate and thicken.

    6 hours
  5. The next morning, combine 2 cups mixed berries, 2 tbsp maple syrup and 1 tsp lemon juice in a small saucepan.

  6. Simmer over medium heat 6-8 minutes, gently crushing with a fork, until the berries release their juice and the compote coats the back of a spoon.

    6-8 minutes
  7. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes; the compote will thicken as it rests.

    5 minutes
  8. Stir each jar of oats and loosen with a splash of almond milk if too stiff.

  9. Spoon a generous layer of warm compote over the oats and finish with toasted sliced almonds and a few mint leaves.

  10. Serve chilled, or pack in the jar for a portable brunch on the go.

Chef's tip

Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet for 3 minutes just before serving — the warm nutty crunch against the cold creamy oats is what turns this from good to memorable.

Suggested pairing

Enjoy with a cold brew coffee or a chilled matcha latte for a refreshing, energizing morning pairing.
