Method

  1. Put the oats in a large, non- metallic mixing bowl or container. Add half the apricots, 50g seed mix and the mixed spice.

  2. Combine the yogurt, honey and milk in a large jug. Pour it over the oat mixture and mix well. Stir in the fruit juice, then cover and chill for at least 1 hr or overnight.

  3. Just before serving, stir in the carrot and apple. Spoon into bowls and top with the peanut butter, remaining apricots and seed mix, and pistachios (if using). Add an extra pinch of mixed spice, if you like.
