If you’re missing a thing or two, tick the items you need to add to your shopping list.

- Cooking oil spray
- 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 small bananas, sliced
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup reduced-fat coconut milk, plus extra if needed
- 1 tablespoon honey

What to do

1. Preheat the oven to 100°C and lightly spray a medium baking dish with cooking oil.
2. Layer the berries and sliced banana over the base of the prepared dish. Combine the oats, coconut milk and 1 cup of water in a bowl and pour evenly over the fruit.
3. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 2 hours until the oats are very tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.
4. Spoon the baked oats into four bowls. Top each serve with a teaspoon of honey and a little extra coconut milk to loosen the oats if required.
5. If you’re not serving the oats immediately, let them cool, then cover and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Gently reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

: Tip

To save time in the morning, bake the oats in advance, then reheat them when you’re ready to serve.
