Oats really are a winter staple, not only do they fill you up, they are economical and they take on any flavour you wish to add. This recipe is a great base for you to make your own.
Serves 2
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 cup milk and 1 cup water
2/3 cup grated apple
1/3 cup raisins or dried fruit of your choice
2 Tbsp honey, golden or maple syrup
2 Tbsp fresh walnuts or hazelnuts, roughly chopped
Pouring cream for serving (optional)
Method
In a medium saucepan, add the oats and cook over a gentle heat until the oats toast lightly, add 1 cup water and 1 cup milk, cinnamon, and salt; bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat and cook 3 minutes.
Stir in the grated apple, raisins and 1 tablespoon honey or syrup, cook for a further 3-5 minutes. Divide oats between 2 serving bowls. Drizzle remaining honey over top and sprinkle with nuts. Serve with a little pouring cream if desired!
