A pretty, layered twist on overnight oats that feels like pudding but is packed with nourishing goodness. A fun and satisfying breakfast or snack for kids and adults alike!

Prep: 15 mins

Chill: Overnight

Level: Beginner

Serves: 3

Allergen info: Gluten (oats), Nuts (almonds), Dairy (yoghurt - you can use an alternative)

Ingredients

  • For the oat mixture:

    • 100g oats

    • 200ml milk (dairy or plant-based)

    • 150g Greek or natural yoghurt

    • 6–8 frozen cherries, defrosted, with a little juice

    • 1 tbsp flaked almonds (to serve)

Method

  • In a blender, combine the milk, yoghurt, dates, ground almonds, and vanilla until smooth. (If you don’t have a blender, mix well by hand, mashing the dates as finely as possible.)

  • Finish with a cherry and a little drizzle of cherry juice.

  • Scatter flaked almonds on top just before serving.

  • Fridge: Keeps 2–3 days, either pre-layered or with the oat mixture stored plain.
