Oat milk overnight oats with dates

What you need

• ·65g porridge oats
• ·300g oat milk
• ·30g medjool dates
• ·20g peanut butter
• ·20g mixed seeds
• ·80g frozen mixed berries
• ·30g pea protein powder

Method

1. 1Oats and oat milk in a jar, stirred properly — dry pockets at the bottom stay dry all night.
2. 2Dates chopped small and stirred through now, not in the morning. They need the hours to soften.
3. 3Peanut butter dolloped on top rather than mixed in, so you get it in seams rather than everywhere.
4. 4Pea protein whisked into the milk BEFORE it meets the oats. Stirred in afterwards it stays as lumps, because there is nothing left to disperse it into.
5. 5Frozen berries straight on. They thaw overnight and their juice runs down through it.
6. 6Lid on, fridge, at least six hours.

Oat milk on oats sounds like a joke and makes the creamiest version of this in the book — it is starchier than any other plant milk.
