Peach Melba Overnight Oats

Inspired by the classic dessert, this combines sweet peaches and tart raspberries with a hint of almond. Use tinned peaches in juice (not syrup) or thawed frozen ones. The raspberries break down overnight, creating ribbons of pink.

Ingredients (Serves 1):

• 50g rolled oats
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 150ml milk of choice
• ½ tsp almond extract (optional but lovely)
• 1 tsp maple syrup
• 1 peach (tinned or fresh), sliced
• 80g raspberries (fresh or frozen)

Method:

1. Stir together the oats, chia seeds, milk, almond extract, and maple syrup. Fold in the peach slices and raspberries.
2. Refrigerate overnight. Stir before eating.

Why it’s gut-friendly: Peaches are a low-FODMAP fruit, gentle on sensitive stomachs. Raspberries are rich in fibre and polyphenols. Oats and chia provide prebiotic fibre.
