Overnight Oats Parfait with Raspberry Chia Jam

Overnight Oats Parfait with Raspberry Chia Jam 

**Serve 6

 

Raspberry Jam:

3 cups fresh/frozen raspberries

3 Tbsp chia seeds

1 tsp lemon juice

 

Oats:

2½ cups organic plant milk or A2 milk

1¼ cups organic rolled oats

2 Tbsp chia seeds

¼ tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground cardamom

3 servings vanilla protein powder

(**Whey isolate or collagen protein is recommended, pea protein is too gritty)

 

To serve with:

1 Tbsp whipped coconut cream OR Greek yoghurt

1 tsp chopped almonds

¼ cup berries of your choice

 

Directions:

  1. Make the jam: Place raspberries in a pot. Mash gently and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add lemon juice and continue simmering for 8 minutes or until the berries are tender.
  2. Stir in chia seeds and continue simmering for 10-12 minutes or until the jam is thick.
  3. Remove from the heat and transfer the mixture into a clean bowl. Refrigerate overnight.
  4. Make the oats: Place unsweetened coconut or almond milk, organic rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, and vanilla protein powder into a large bowl. 
  5. Stir well to combine.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
  7. To assemble, stir the oats before using. Spread a layer of oats into a parfait glass.
  8. Top with the raspberry jam and if desired, sprinkle with chopped almonds (to get some crunchiness).
  9. Repeat layers once more and finish with a dollop of whipped coconut cream or greek yoghurt  and a few berries.
