“This is my favourite lazy breakfast. I love overnight oats and traditional bircher muesli, but I’m rarely organised enough to get them prepped the night before, so this is the ideal solution for me, and hopefully for you too. I love mine with almond butter, fresh berries and a spoonful of maple but it’s also delicious with toasted nuts, banana slices and just about anything else you’ve got in your kitchen.” - Deliciously Ella

INGREDIENTS

• 30g dried apple rings

• 80g porridge oats

• 2 tablespoons coconut yoghurt

• 2 teaspoons sunflower seeds

• 1 teaspoons chia seeds

• Half a glass of almond milk, or any other plant-based milk

• Handful of raisins

• Drizzle of maple syrup, optional

METHOD

1. Cut the apple rings into bite-sized pieces, then mix all the ingredients in a bowl and let sit for a minute or two, until the mix is soft and creamy.

2. Top with your favourite ingredients – peanut butter, almond butter, toasted nuts, fresh berries, sliced banana and coconut chips are all delicious!

5 Ingredient Cookie Recipe

“They look pretty standard here, but trust me these are anything but boring. They’re the easiest, most deliciously chewy cookies made of just five ingredients: ground almonds, medjool dates, almond milk, dark chocolate chips (or raisins) and chia seeds. It’s magic!” - Deliciously Ella

INGREDIENTS

• 180g ground almonds

• 12 medjool dates, pitted

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds

• 3 tablespoons almond milk

• Handful of dark chocolate chips, or raisins

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 180c, fan setting.

2. Simply place all of the ingredients (apart from your dark chocolate chips or raisins) in a food processor and whizz until it forms a cookie dough.

3. Once mixed, add the dark chocolate chips or raisins and give it another very quick whizz to mix it all together.

4. Use a tablespoon to take a scoop of the mixture out one at a time, rolling them into balls and placing them on a lined baking sheet.

5. Once you have about 12 round balls, squish them down to form cookie shapes.

6. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden.
