Make it your own

A few simple steps.

Stir the oats and cocoa together in a clean jar so the cocoa is evenly distributed.
Add the milk and yogurt and stir until no dry pockets of cocoa remain. Fold in 20 g chopped apricots, cover, and refrigerate at 4°C or below for at least 6 hours.
In the morning, stir the oats. Add up to 15 mL extra milk if you want a looser texture, then top with the reserved 5 g apricots and pumpkin seeds and eat cold.
