  • 1½ cups (750 ml) unsweetened coconut milk beverage or “Vanilla Oat Beverage”
  • 1 tsp (2 g) orange zest, finely grated
  • ½ tsp (1 g) ground ginger

Instructions
For the compote:
Step 1

In a medium heavy-bottomed pot, place strawberries, ½ cup (100 grams) of the Redpath® Organic Sugar, and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of pure vanilla extract over medium heat.

Step 2

Whisk together 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of orange juice and cornstarch until no lumps remain. Set aside.

Step 3

Stir strawberry mixture occasionally until sugar melts and mixture begins to bubble. Whisk in the orange juice/cornstarch slurry.

Step 4

Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 5 to 8 minutes, or until mixture thickens and berries are tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

For the overnight oats:
Step 1

In a blender, place the cubed avocado, the remaining ½ cup (100 grams) of sugar, cocoa powder, flaked or shredded coconut, the remaining 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of orange juice, and the remaining 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.

Step 2

Add in the coconut milk beverage (or Vanilla Oat Beverage, if using), orange zest, ginger, salt, and cinnamon. Blend until thoroughly mixed.

Step 3

In a bowl, combine the large flaked oats with the avocado mixture and mix well with a rubber spatula.

Step 4

Place ⅛ of the mixture into each jar or small bowl (4 portions), and place a layer of the cooled strawberry compote (approximately 2 tablespoons / 30 ml) onto the overnight oats. Divide the remaining oat mixture amongst the 4 containers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight.

To serve:

Spoon a layer of strawberry compote over the chocolate-avocado overnight oats. Garnish with fresh avocado, toasted coconut, chocolate chips or cocoa nibs, and/or orange zest, if desired.
