    Warm porridge (or oatmeal for my non-UK readers) is great for a staple breakfast, but have you every tried it cold? Not cooked and then left to cool. These oats are soaked overnight in milk so they're ready to eat in the morning. A hearty-yet-healthy meal you can make ahead - now that's my kind of breakfast!Overnight Oats with Figs and Pistachios - prep the night before so you can grab as you run out the door!

    Use whatever milk you like - regular, coconut, almond - you could even go for chocolate milk if you want to indulge (no, that's definitely not me, no - she says ignoring the last post of creme egg with cinnamon toast soldiers......).

    Soaking the oats overnight softens them, whilst still ensuring a bit of a bite.  It also produces a quick, make-ahead breakfast with a beautifully creamy consistency.Overnight Oats with Figs and Pistachios - prep the night before so you can grab as you run out the door!

    Mix and match thetoppings depending on what you have in.

    A few suggestions include:

    • Raspberry and Almond
    • Chocolate Chip, Chia Seed and Banana
    • Honey, Pear and Walnut

    Calories 463 kcal

    Ingredients
     

    • 2 fresh figs
    • 100 g (1 cup minus 1 tbsp) whole rolled oats - use gluten-free oats if required
    • ½ tsp vanilla extract
    • 240 ml (1 cup) milk - this can be regular milk, almond milk or whatever your favourite milk is!
    • 1 pinch of cinnamon
    • 4 tbsp dried cranberries
    • 4 tbsp pistachios
    • 2 tbsp honey

    INSTRUCTIONS
     

    • Slice the figs into wedges.
      2 fresh figs
    • Divide the oats between two mason jars.
      100 g (1 cup minus 1 tbsp) whole rolled oats
    • Add the vanilla extract and then pour in the milk.
      ½ tsp vanilla extract, 240 ml (1 cup) milk
    • Add the cinnamon and half of the cranberries, then give everything a stir. Place lids on the mason jars and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours). *Note - you can put the rest of the ingredients in at this point if you wish - however the pistachios will soften if left in the mixture for too long.
      1 pinch of cinnamon, 4 tbsp dried cranberries
    • When you're ready to eat, take out of the refrigerator and top with the figs, pistachios and the remaining cranberries. Drizzle with a little honey, then serve. Eat straight from the jar, or pour out the contents into a bowl.
      2 fresh figs, 4 tbsp pistachios, 2 tbsp honey, 4 tbsp dried cranberries
