What you need:
160g plain porridge oats (avoid jumbo oats, as they don’t soak as well)
1 tsp ground cinnamon, plus extra to serve
1 tsp mixed spice
1 tsp vanilla extract
300g plain unsweetened soya yogurt
6 tbsp 100% pure pumpkin puree from a can
1 level tsp sweetener granules

What you do:
1. The night before, tip the oats into a mixing bowl with half the spices, the vanilla extract, 200g yogurt and 250mil cold water. Put the remaining yogurt in another bowl and add the rest of the spices, and the pumpkin puree and sweetener. Stir until smooth.
2. Divide half the oats between four jars or glasses, then stir in half the chopped apple. Top with the pumpkin mixture, then divide over the remaining oats and chopped apple. Seal or cover the jars, and chill overnight.
3. The next day, toss the sliced apple with the lemon juice to stop it from browning. Top the overnight oats with the sliced apple and equally divide over the almond butter. Finish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and serve.
