Banana Bread Overnight Oats with Spiced Apple Compote
A cosy, nourishing breakfast that blends creamy overnight oats with the comforting flavours of banana bread and warm spiced apples. The mix of oats, chia, and hemp seeds delivers fibre and steady energy, while Greek yoghurt adds protein to support blood sugar balance and satiety. The gently simmered apple compote brings antioxidants and gut‑friendly pectin, and the cinnamon offers natural anti‑inflammatory and metabolic support. It’s a wholesome, feel‑good start to the day that fuels digestion, hormones, and overall wellbeing.
