SUMMER OATS & COFFEE CREME

-

Enough for 2 portions

For the summer oats, you will need:

• 1 cup jumbo oats (use any cup to measure)

• 1½ cups preferred type of milk (use any cup to measure) • Squeeze of lemon juice

• Pinch of flaky sea salt • 4 tablespoon­s chia seed, or whole buckwheat, or sunflower seeds

For the coffee creme, you will need:

• 2 tablespoon­s instant coffee • 2 tablespoon­s coconut sugar (or other sugar) • 2½ tablespoon­s boiling water

1

For the summer oats, stir all the ingredient­s together and leave in the fridge overnight. They will be plump and creamy by morning.

In the morning, before eating, whip up your coffee creme. Using an electric whisk (or a balloon beater and tenacity), whip together the instant coffee, the sugar and the boiling water for at least 3 minutes. It will turn from dark and runny to a thick caramel colour.

Scoop on top of your overnight oats, and tuck in with the kind of delicious reverie normally reserved for religion or a Cos end-of-season sale.
