Ingredients

  • 75g dried cherries
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 500ml hazelnut milk
  • 200g jumbo porridge oats
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp cocoa nibs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 50g blanched hazelnuts
  • fat-free yogurt and sugar-free cherry compote, to serve (optional)

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cover the cherries with boiling water and set aside for 10 mins. Meanwhile, mix the chia seeds with 3 tbsp warm water.
