Raspberry Bounty Oats

Coconutty, chocolatey and tart raspberry flavours combined to make a delicious breakfast.

THE LAYERS

This breakfast is inspired by the bounty chocolate bar, which has a coconut centre and is covered with a layer of chocolate.

Using this as inspiration I added a layer of raspberries to break through the richness of the coconut and cacao. It adds a wonderful tart and freshness to the breakfast.

It is so satisfying to eat this breakfast, trying to get a bit of each layer in every spoonful.

TO MAKE THIS YOU WILL NEED

• Rolled oats, gluten-free if required

• Coconut flour and/or desiccated coconut

• Cacao powder

• Maple syrup

• Coconut or plain yoghurt

• Coconut or oat milk

• Vanilla extract

• Frozen raspberries, but fresh can work too

PREP

The night before, add the frozen or fresh raspberries to a jar or bowl. Mix the oat and coconut mixture and spoon this over the raspberries. Next, add a generous drizzle of my homemade healthy chocolate sauce.

Finish with toasted coconut and you are all done.

Cover and let it sit in the fridge overnight and enjoy in the morning.

BATCH PREP

Make a few single serving batches on your meal prep days so you have breakfast for the next few days.

FROZEN OR FRESH RASPBERRIES

I prefer using frozen raspberries as they turn into a jam like consistency as they defrost.

If you are using fresh raspberries you might want to mash them a bit with a fork and add a bit more yoghurt or oat milk to the oats mixture.

1. Mix all the coconut oats ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Set aside. Add more yoghurt or oat if needed. Remember the mixture will still thicken overnight.

3. To make the chocolate sauce mix the cacao powder (and salt) with a couple tablespoons boiling water, enough to make a paste. Add maple syrup or more water until you have a smooth, thick but runny consistency.

4. Spoon or pour the chocolate sauce over the oats.
