Cold brew bircher
Ingredients
- 120g oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 450ml cold brew oat latte
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 30g pecans
- 4 dates, de-stoned
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 30g almond butter
- 50g vegan yogurt
- Ground cinnamon
- Sea salt flakes
Steps
- Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the oats and cook, stirring often, until starting to colour slightly and smell toasty.
- Transfer to a large bowl and leave to cool. Stir in the chia seeds followed by 350ml of the cold brew latte and maple syrup. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Place a medium frying pan over a medium heat. Dry-fry the pecans for 2-3 minutes until the nuts start to darken slightly, being careful not to burn. Set aside.
- Flatten the dates slightly. Heat oil in the pan over a medium-high heat and add the dates. Cook until starting to darken and crisp, then flip and cook for another minute. Remove and leave to cool.
- Roughly chop the dates and pecans. Divide the oats between two bowls and pour over the remaining coffee.
- Drizzle with the almond butter, add the crème fraîche or yogurt and sprinkle with the pecans and dates. Finish with a pinch of cinnamon and sea salt flakes.
