Ingredients

• 1 cup cup gluten free oats

• 1 cup cup almond milk

• 1 tbsp almond butter

• 1 tsp brown rice malt syrup, or maple syrup

• 3 medium strawberries, sliced

• FOR THE JAM

• ½ cup fresh strawberries

• 1 tbsp chia seeds

• ¼ cup water

• 1 tbsp of flaked almonds

Directions

1. To make the jam topping, add the strawberries, maple syrup and water to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil rapidly for 2 minutes until the strawberries start to break down.

2. Reduce to a simmer and cook for a further 3 minutes stirring constantly and mashing the strawberries as you go.

3. Once all the liquid has evaporated, you will be left with a thick fruit jam. Remove from the heat and stir through the chia seeds. Allow to cool, then refrigerate overnight.

4. Arrange the sliced strawberry pieces around the inner edge of a clean Mason jar.

5. In a separate bowl, mix the oats, almond milk, almond butter and the brown rice or maple syrup. Stir to combine.

6. Pour the oat mixture into the centre of the Mason jar and push the strawberry slices tightly against the sides.

7. Cover the jar tightly with a lid and transfer to the fridge overnight.

8. In the morning, stir the oat mixture gently and serve, topped with the chia strawberry jam and flaked almonds.
