Slowly bring to the boil, stirring continuously. Boil for 1 minute, then reduce the heat and simmer for another 2 minutes. Add the raspberries and strawberries and cook for 1 more minute (or 2 minutes if using frozen berries). Taste. If you’d like it sweeter, stir in a few drops of stevia.

Put all of the dry ingredients except the spices in a large bowl and combine (it’s going to look like a regular muesli mix at this stage).
Mix through the spices and almond or coconut milk, then cover and place in the fridge to soak overnight.
In the morning, fold through the grated apple, then fold through the yoghurt. Divide among bowls, top with an extra dollop of yoghurt, a couple of prunes and a sprinkle of chia seeds, and finish it off with a drizzle of maple syrup. Serves 4– 6
