Pear, Nut & Blackberry Bircher

Ingredients

  • 1 small ripe pear
  • 4 tbsp rolled oats
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 100g Greek yogurt or soya yogurt
  • 4-6 macadamia nuts
  • a small handful of blackberries

Method

  1. Grate the entire small ripe pear, including its skin and pips, then transfer all the pulp and any collected juice into a small container or jam jar that has a secure lid.
  2. Mix in the rolled oats, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, and the 100g Greek or soya yogurt, stirring thoroughly. In a dry frying pan, toast the 4-6 macadamia nuts for 2 mins.
