Ingredients
- TO SERVE:
- 7 oz blanched hazelnuts
- 7 oz Medjool dates
- 4 cups rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 heaping (4) tablespoons quality cocoa powder
- 1 orange
- 1 1/2 ounces chocolate/oat mixture
- 10 tablespoons water, almond milk or coconut water
- 1 heaping tablespoon greek yogurt
- 3 ounces mixed fruit of choice - raspberries, blackberries, sliced banana, grated apple and pear, segments of orange, optional
- 1 pinch of ground cinnamon or quality cocoa powder, optional
Preparation
Step 1
Toast the hazelnuts in a dry pan on a medium heat until golden, tossing often, then add to the food processor.
Tear the pits out of the dates and add the flesh to the processor with half the oats, the vanilla extract, and cocoa powder.
Finely grate in the orange zest and pulse until fine, then add the rest of the oats and pulse just to blend. Pour into an airtight jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
When you want a portion, simply put 1 1/2 oz of the mixture into a sauce pan with the water or almond milk and heat gently over a medium-low heat for 3 minutes, or until it’s the consistency that you like, stirring regularly and adding splashes of water to loosen, if needed.
Serve each portion with a spoonful of Greek yogurt and 3 oz of fresh fruit.
