Organic? Don't panic!

 'Wake Up With Organic'  It is easy to start the day with organic yumminess even if you don't buy organic food all the time. Here at Broad Bean you can find tasty grab-and-go organic apricot packs and apple and sultana bars and below we show you how simple, quick and easy it is to make wonderful overnight oats which are also diary free, gluten free, wheat free and refined sugar free!! 

Here is the recipe with some tasty prep tips for mixing it up. Why not make a big batch to last a few days for a quick, easy and healthy breakfast. 

Alice's Overnight Oats 

Serves 1. Easily scaled up to serve many people or lots of portions just for you! 

you will need -

1/2 cup of oats

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1tbsp chia seeds - you can make it without, but they are very good for you and add a little something to the texture of the finished oats. 

1 cup of milk - it can be diary free. (I like unsweetened almond milk myself)

1tbsp nut butter - any nut butter is fine. I used crunchy peanut butter for the batch we served in the shop. 

  • Mix together the dry ingredients - oats, cinnamon, chia seeds
  • Add the wet ingredients
  • Mix well until it's combined. The peanut butter is the tough one to mix in properly. 
  • Store in the fridge overnight in a container with a lid on.  
  • In the morning, remix your oats and add a little extra milk if you want.
  • Add your extra toppings and enjoy! 

 HINTS AND TIPS! 

Add any of the following if you want a sweeter taste without refined sugar - vanilla extract, maple syrup, honey

Add any of the following to ring the changes - maca powder, grated apple or pear, dried fruit

And finally top it off with a sprinkle of your favourite seeds or chopped fruit. My favourite is our Omega 3 seed mix and blueberries; delicious!
