Recipes: Overnight Chocolate Chia Pudding with Wild Blackberries
If you are like us and need a quick breakfast fix but..also…need…decadence - we’ve got something good to share! This overnight chia pudding is uuuuber creamy, chocolatey and oh so wholesome! AND it’s a great healthier alternative to an evening dessert too.. We foraged some wild blackberries from the local Norfolk woods, but store bought blackberries, raspberries, blueberries or strawberries will work equally as great. You can use coconut flakes or chocolate shavings to make it all fancy or add banana, apple or mandarin slices for the perfect morning treat! We added a layer of plain greek yogurt and stewed half of the wild blackberries with agave nectar to create a lush syrupy consistency to pour over the top of the yogurt layer. This recipe is Gluten Free, Vegan & naturally sweetened. This pudding lasts for a few days in the fridge so it’s ideal for any of you busy folks, who just need a get up n’ go type of thing… (if you can make it last that long)!
Recipes: Cinnamon Apple Kefir Muffins
Ok, so we all love a yogurt or granola bowl for breakfast BUT there’s something comforting about having a lush bakery style muffin with your morning coffee…(occassionally). These muffins are absolutely delicious, soft and moist, full of warm cinnamon flavour, packed with juicy, sweet and tangy apples and finished with a cinnamon sugar topping. This recipe is wholesome and filling, quick and easy to prepare and the addition of kefir adds to both the texture and taste of the batter. As kefir is fermented and cultured it creates a lighter and wonderfully moist crumb. We used a mix of green and red apples for this recipe, as a combination of at least two or three kinds is a good way to get a more complex flavour. We suggest using Braeburn, Granny Smith, Fuji or Golden Delicious. Perfect for snacking anytime of the day, these muffins keep soft and moist for a few days so you can really extend that joy for a little bit longer…
