Overnight oats have to be the simplest breakfasts I know.  You put it together the night before and in the morning you have a great tasting highly nutritious breakfast that you just pour in a bowl and eat. Basic ingredients are rolled oast and soya milk.  Great for hot summer days.

Notes

  • Rolled oats are best otherwise if you use porridge oats, it will be all mushy. 
  • You can use any non-dairy milk you like.
  • You can eat it any time of day not just for breakfast.

Serves 1

Ingredients

  • 1/2 a cup (40 g) of rolled oats 
  • 1 cup (240 ml) of soya milk 
  • 1 tsp chia seeds  
  • 1 tsp of flaxseeds
  • 3 or 4 dried apple rings diced
  • 15g Sultanas  
  • 1 tsp of mixed spice  
  • 1 tsp of sugar
  • Salt to taste, about 1/4 tsp

Apparatus

  • A jar

Method

  1. Using a mortar and pestle, crush the chia seeds and flaxseeds.  This allows the body to absorb more of the nutrients within the seeds.
  2. Put the oats into the jar with the apple rings, sultanas, chia seeds, flax seeds, mixed spice and salt.  
  3. Poor the milk in and give it a good stir.  
  4. Place in a fridge overnight.  
  5. In the morning, the sultanas will be plump.  
  6. Stir and serve cold in a bowl.
How easy was that?

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 11th of December 2023   This is something I have heard of, but never tried before.  Usually, we have traditional Christmas cake in my house, but last year I wanted to try something different and this was it.  Rest assured, I will be having it again this year too! At first, it seems like a lot of effort, but you will soon see that it is straight forward to make and definitely worth it.  However, it will need proofing and the dried fruit will need soaking, which will all take time, so plan ahead.  Notes I used French Brandy Marzipan and so used brandy to flavour the raisins and cranberries. I used almond milk. A good tip is to dust the soaked fruit with a little flour before adding the dough. You have 3 options with the marzipan:  Roll it out  Chop it up Have a thick bar of it running through the centre I soaked the dried fruit in brandy, but you can make it without the alcohol is you wish or use rum instead. I used a silicon baking sheet to save on the

The Price of Ignorance

By T. McDonald . | Date 1st of November 2019 | Updated on 15th April 2021 Ever woke up and thought, ‘Is this it?’ Have you ever been plagued with the idea that something is wrong with the world or your life; something you can’t quite put your finger on? If you have seen the matrix, you may be aware of the famous quote about having a splinter in the mind. Something in life is wrong and that thing is the price of ignorance. Something in life is wrong.  The fictional character Morpheus from the movie The Matrix (1999) explains: ‘ …there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it is there like a splinter in your mind… ’ So, what is it that is troubling people so much that it comes out in modern media and common sayings?  To answer that question, we must first look at what we are. We are animals. Animals need to find resources by which to sustain themselves and humans are no different. Notably, many people also have pets ranging from dogs and cats to

Rum And Raisin Loaf

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 27th of November 2023   Whatever the occasions, this is a great treat to be had.  The rum soaks into the raisins and results in a perfect infusion of flavours. The rum adds flavour to the raisins while the raisins add sweetness to the run.  This beautiful bread as a great bready texture, yet is fruity and warming to the soul. Although it doesn't need it, you can choose to dust it with icing sugar.
