Serves 1 | Refined sugar-free 

Ingredients for the oats:

• ⅓ cup organic rolled oats 
• 1 tbsp chopped red apple
• 1 tbsp chopped pecans 
• 1 tsp chia seeds
• 1 tsp hemp seeds
• 2 tsp flax meal 
• 1 tsp organic ground cinnamon 
• 2 heaped tsp Collagen Restore 
• 180ml milk of choice 
• Dash of maple syrup 
• 2 tsp pecan caramel 
• Sprinkle of salt 

Ingredients for the pecan caramel:

• 2 heaped tbsp pecan butter (you can make this by blending pecans on high-speed until the nut butter is formed. Alternatively, you can use any nut butter you have on hand). 
• 2 tbsp maple syrup 
• 1 tbsp melted MCT or regular coconut oil 

Method:

1. To a small bowl, add all the pecan caramel ingredients and mix well to form a smooth consistency. If it is still too thick, add teaspoons of coconut oil to achieve your desired consistency. Set aside. 
2. To a small jar, add all of your ingredients for the overnight oats. Mix well to combine. 
3. Cover and set the oats in the fridge for a minimum of an hour. 
4. Once the oats are set, add another swirl of pecan caramel on top. Feel free to add more diced apple, a dollop of Greek yoghurt and chopped pecans if desired. Dig in and enjoy! 

Notes:

• These overnight oats last well in the fridge in an airtight jar or container for up to a week. 
• For the left over pecan butter, simply store it in the cupboard in an airtight container or jar for up to two weeks.
