Ingredients
  

  • (Serves 2)
  • ¾ cup (75 g / 2.65 oz) regular rolled oats
  • ¾ cup (180 ml / 6.1 fl oz) almond milk, plus more for serving
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml / 2.7 fl oz) freshly squeezed orange juice
  • ½ cup (60 g / 2.12 oz) packed grated apple (from 1 small apple)
  • 2 tablespoons (20 g / 0.71 oz) golden raisins
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g / 0.53 oz) chia seeds
  • ½ cup (75 g / 2.65 oz) fresh berries or sliced summer fruit, for topping
  • 2 tablespoons (20 g / 0.71 oz) chopped walnuts, for topping
  • Pure maple syrup, for drizzling (optional)
  • Use rolled oats, not instant or steel-cut. Rolled oats provide the perfect creamy-yet-chewy texture after soaking.
  • For an extra creamy and protein-rich muesli, stir in a tablespoon of your favorite plant-based yogurt (like coconut or soy) before serving.
  • Lightly toasting the walnuts in a dry pan for a few minutes before topping enhances their nutty flavor and adds a delightful crunch.
  • Swap the fruit! Try grated pear instead of apple, or use dried cranberries or chopped dates instead of raisins for a different flavor profile.

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, ¾ cup (180ml / 6.1 fl oz) almond milk, orange juice, grated apple, and raisins.
  2. Stir well, then fold in the chia seeds until everything is evenly mixed.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  4. In the morning, give the muesli a good stir. If it's too thick, add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
  5. Serve chilled, topped with fresh berries, chopped walnuts, and an optional drizzle of pure maple syrup.
