Ingredients:

1/4 cup almond milk

Equal amounts of water and rolled oats (I use about 1/2 cup of each)

1/2 cup frozen raspberries (115 gr)

1 tbsp raw cacao nibs

1 tbsp slivered almonds

1 tsp chia seeds or ground flax seeds

Step-by-step

• Place the oats in a steel cut pan and add water.
• When the water is boiling, reduce the heat and let simmer until all water is absorbed.
• Add the frozen raspberries and stir well.
• When they soften up a bit add the cacao nibs and slivered almonds.
• Stir. Don't let the raspberries boil, because this recipe is nice with whole raspberries instead of overcooked raspberries.
• Add a good splash of almond milk and let this milk warm up (not boil).
• Serve.
• You can also make the overnight version. Add all the ingredients in a mason jar and take with you the next day on the go.
