THE NIGHT BEFORE

For the clustery granola pieces
1 Preheat the oven to 190°C/Gas Mark
5 and line a baking tray with
baking paper.
2 Mix the nuts, oats and seeds in large
bowl, then add the oil and honey. Stir
with a fork.
3 Tip the granola onto the lined baking
tray and spread it out in a thin layer. Bake
for 20 minutes, stirring twice to make
sure it bakes evenly, until golden brown.
4 Tip into a bowl and leave to cool, then
chuck in those dried berries and pop
into an airtight container ready to
use tomorrow.

For the sleepy porridge
1 Put the oats in a bowl, stir in the
cinnamon, almond milk, raisins and
salt, then cover and put in the fridge
until the next day.
2 Put the banana chunks on a baking
tray and pop the tray in the freezer.

THE NEXT DAY

For the banana ice cream
1 Throw the frozen banana into the

bowl of a food-processor and blitz until

smooth, adding enough almond milk to

give it a creamy consistency.

2 Loosen the porridge a little with a little

Ice cream for breakfast... well,

normally it shouldn’t be done.

My mum wouldn’t allow it, but when

I told her it was ice cream made of

frozen bananas, clustery pieces of

goodness and overnight oats, yup, it

got the seal of approval! Start making

this the night before you want to to

ea t i t – make i t in your PJ s , I dar e ya.

And make a larger batch of granola

if you like, to keep and use for

other brekky dishes.

scoop or two of the banana ice cream

and clustery granola pieces. Add a drizzle

of honey and enjoy your breakfast!
