Method

1
Mix the oats, chia seeds, cinnamon and vanilla in a big bowl.
2
Stir in the milk and the yoghurt until there are no dry patches.
3
Grate the apples, skin and all, straight into the bowl with the lemon juice and stir through. The lemon stops them going brown.
4
Divide between 4 jars or lidded boxes. Press on the lid and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.
5
They keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, so you can make them all at once. Stir before eating and loosen with a splash of milk if they are very thick.
6
Add the pumpkin seeds just before eating so they stay crunchy. Eat cold, or heat in the microwave for 90 seconds, stirring halfway. Not suitable for the freezer.
