TAHINI OVERNIGHT OATS WITH MAPLE TAHINI SAUCE & FRESH FIGS

I am currently just a little bit obsessed with overnight oats as they are pretty much not only one of the tastiest but also healthiest breakfasts out there. 

I of course shared my recipe for cinnamon overnight oats the other day but I thought it was time to take things up a notch with this rather snazzy, and dare I say Ottolenghi inspired, take on baked oats

Because, as it turns out tahini and oats are a match made in heaven, especially with some maple syrup and fresh figs added! 

A total breakfast taste sensation that also happens to be vegan and very filling without weighing you down! A very dreamy and easy to make dish to set you up for the day in style.

Serves 1

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

METHOD

• Combine all ingredients in a mason jar in this order: oats, almond milk, maple syrup, tahini, and stir well!

• Mix the tahini, maple syrup, nut milk, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl or small measuring cup until smooth, cover and refrigerate until your oats are ready.
