If you are lazy about breakfast like I am, overnight oats might be the breakfast food for you! It's easy to prep in bigger batches and just keep in the fridge for breakfast or dessert any day of the week! Also seeing as we're still in the middle of a heat wave this chilled but filling breakfast is just the right thing to keep you going in these temperatures (no oven required - yay!)

For an extra summery touch I added peaches. They are full of zinc and magnesium which together with their high niacin levels help reduce stress, so not only are they super delicious they also aid your general wellbeing! :) To make it more filling still (and because I'm on a quest to introduce more iron to my diet - here's your reminder to get regular blood tests to check for possible deficiencies) I added loads of other seeds into this, this is completely up to you though :)

For 2 portions you'll need:

In a bowl mix together the oats and seeds, add the cinnamon and cover with your plant milk. Stir well, then cover your bowl and leave to soak in the fridge overnight or for at least 4 hours.

For the peach puree, half your peaches, take out the stone then cube the peaches and add them to a pot. Add the juice of one orange to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Leave to simmer for about ten minutes until the peaches are all soft. Blend the mixture and keep in a jar in the fridge, ready to use as a topping for your oats.

And that is literally all there is to it! When you're ready to eat, layer your oats and peach puree in a glas, add fresh fruit or more nuts/seeds on top and dig in. If you have more of a sweet tooth, add a drizzle of honey or agave syrup in top :)
