Overnight oats with stewed apple & coconut hazelnut granola

You might assume this is an overly elaborate and time-consuming breakfast, but Ed Smith's recipe requires just a few preparatory moments one evening, then no more effort or energy to assemble in the morning than your usual cereal, porridge or toast.

Ingreadient

    • 50g Waitrose Duchy Organic Jumbo Rolled Oats
    • 40g desiccated coconut
    • 75g Waitrose Duchy Organic Hazelnuts, roughly chopped
    • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 tbsp clear honey
    • For the apples
    • ½ lemon, juice
    • 3 organic apples (of your choice)
    • 1 tsp clear honey
    • 50g Waitrose Duchy Organic Jumbo Rolled Oats
    • 3 tbsp desiccated coconut
    • 160ml whole milk, plus extra if needed
    • Natural Greek-style yogurt, to serve
    • Clear honey, to serve (optional)

Step by step

    1. To make the granola, preheat the oven to 170ºC, gas mark 5 and line a small baking tray with baking parchment. Combine the granola ingredients and mix well. Spread over the parchment and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden. Shuffle the tray after 8 minutes and at 12 minutes, if needed. Leave to cool, then transfer to an airtight container until required.
    2. Stew the apples while the granola cooks. Squeeze the lemon juice into a small saucepan. Peel, core and cut the apples into wedges, 1 at a time, rolling the segments in the lemon juice so they don’t brown. Add the honey and 3-4 tbsp water, then cook, lid on, over a medium heat until the apple segments are tender (around 10 minutes, although this depends on the apple variety). Transfer to a container with a lid and chill until required.
    3. The night before, soak the quantity of oats you require. Combine the oats, coconut and milk in a breakfast bowl or other suitable container, then stir, cover, then chill overnight.
    4. To assemble in the morning, give the oats another stir and add a splash more milk to loosen, if liked. Top with the apples, a spoonful of yogurt and a generous sprinkle of granola. Add a drizzle of honey, if liked.
