Step 1

Toast the hazelnuts in a dry pan on a medium heat until golden, tossing often, then tip into a food processor.

Step 2

Tear the stones out of the dates and add the flesh to the processor with half the oats, the vanilla extract and cocoa powder.

Step 3

Finely grate in the orange zest and pulse until fine, then stir the mixture back through the rest of the oats.

Step 4

Pour into an airtight jar, ready to use.

Step 5

When you want a portion, simply put 65g of the mixture into a saucepan with the coconut water and heat gently over a medium-low heat for 3 minutes, or until it's the consistency that you like, stirring regu- larly and adding splashes of water to loosen, if needed.

Step 6

Serve each portion with a spoonful of Greek yoghurt and 80g of fresh fruit.

Step 7

It's also nice finished with a pinch of cinnamon or a dusting of cocoa, if you like.

Step 8

And remember, if you up the number of portions you're cooking at one time, simply adjust the cooking time accordingly.
