Life's been a bit crazy with it being right in the middle of exams and all. Now is the most important time to keep one's health up, but it's hard when there's so little time.
Overnight oats are the perfect breakfast for when you don't have time in the morning.
I also steeped a bunch of chocolate tea into the soy milk I used for this recipe, just to add a bit of flavour. Highly recommend! I used T2 Cocoa Loco. The effect is subtle but it's great. Try it yourself!
Overnight Oats
1/4 cup whole or quick oats
1/4 cup milk of choice
2 tbsp yoghurt
1/2 tsp chia seeds
1 pitted date, chopped
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Mix all ingredients in a bowl or mason jar and leave for at least an hour, or overnight. Eat cold or heated up, topped with fresh or dried fruit (e.g. honey-roasted figs), more milk or more yoghurt.
Honey-Roasted Figs
6-8 fresh figs, halved, stems cut off
3 tbsp butter
1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup of you prefer)
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and place the fig halves in a baking dish. (If your oven has a tendency to burn things, I would suggest turning the heat down to 180 degrees, else the sugar in the honey is likely to burn.)
Heat the butter in a pan over the stove and whisk in honey. Pour the mixture over the figs and toss to cover.
Roast the figs in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until soft.
