Plan your next breakfast ahead with our easy overnight oats. This recipe includes two topping choices, but the world's your oyster - make them with any topping that works for you.

2 cups rolled oats
2 cups (500ml) milk (any milk you like - we used regular, but nut milks will also work)
2 tbs maple syrup or honey, plus extra to serve
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Caramelised pear topping (enough for 4 serves)

2 small packham pears, cored and cut into 6
1/4 cup brown sugar
Toasted pecans, chopped, to serve

Raspberry bircher topping (enough for 4 serves)

1 granny smith apple, grated coarsely
125g raspberries
1 cup coconut yoghurt
flaked coconut, to serve

Method

1.

Place the oats, milk, maple or honey and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight until thickened and the oats have softened. The following day, stir well to loosen, and break down the oats until completely softened.
2.

To make the caramelised pear topping, place the brown sugar on a small plate and press the cut sides of the pear into the sugar. Heat a large non stick frying pan over medium-high heat, and add the pears, cooking for 2-3 minutes, turning halfway, or until caramelised. Divide oats between bowls and top with pears. Sprinkle with pecans and drizzle with extra maple syrup to serve.
3.

To make the raspberry bircher topping, stir the grated apple through the oats the following day. Layer oats, coconut yoghurt, and raspberries in glasses, finishing with raspberries and flaked coconut. Drizzle with honey to serve.
