  • 1/2 cup rolled oats

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup plain yoghurt
  • 1/3 cup carrot finely grated
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp chopped walnuts
  • 1 tbsp sultanas

  2. Add the milk, yoghurt and maple syrup and mix well.
  3. Fold through the grated carrot and sultanas, seal and refrigerate overnight.

Notes

The carrot and walnuts add fibre and crunch. A pinch of ground ginger deepens the spice.
