These compotes really are Christmas in a cup! They're a combination of coconut chia seeds, mixed with warm, sweet, cinnamon spiced fruits, sprinkled with pecans and cashews for extra crunch. And after cooking a batch of these, it will leave your home smelling of delicious festive spices!
Not only do they taste delicious, they are absolutely bursting with nutritional value. Chia seeds are loaded with antioxidants, which help support our immune system. Fruit provides plenty of fibre to keep our digestive system functioning properly and cinnamon helps regulate our blood sugar levels to avoid a spike.
I'd love to hear what you think of these!
Ingredients (serves 2-3 cups);
2 oranges
¼ cup blueberries
¼ cup raspberries
¼ cup strawberries
2 sweet red apples
2 medjool dates
2 tbsp. cinnamon
2 tbsp. filtered water
2 tbsp. chia seeds
¼ cup coconut milk – try my homemade coconut milk
Handful of chopped pecans and cashews to top (optional)
Method:
Add the chia seeds and coconut milk into a bowl and soak for a minimum of 10 minutes.
Chop the apples, oranges, dates and strawberries into small chunks and add to a pan, along with the water and cinnamon. Simmer on a low heat for a few minutes until the fruit starts to soften.
Add the blueberries and raspberries and simmer for a further couple of minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add 1 tbsp. of chia seeds to each of the cups and fill the cups with the fruit compote.
Sprinkle with chopped nuts for extra crunch and nutrition!
Enjoy xx
