[YEP...]

In my quest to be healthier I've bought some rolled oats to have for breakfast. I need to put some other things with them though, to make it tastier. Any ideas?

Brown sugar and hot milk.

Wait, did you say healthy? I'm out.

LOL Beltie. I toast them with almonds, a variety of seeds, maple syrup and olive oil and then store that jar in the fridge. I eat it with yoghurt and fresh or tinned fruit.

I like banana or blueberries

Make some Bircher muesli
Rolled oats, water and lemon juice (left to soak overnight). Stir in yogurt, grated apple, honey, berries, seeds/nuts if you like...and hey presto! It's delicious. Even my kids coff bowls of this!

My favourite is to cook the oats (porridge) and add apples and/or pears stewed with sultanas and brown sugar. So, so good.

Also great with a dollop of Greek yoghurt, LSA, a drizzle of maple syrup and a sliced banana.

Honey and berries, or honey & banana.

Def need the honey though, it's pretty darn bland without it.

I add a handful of (non-toasted or salted) raw fruit/ seed/ nut mix that I buy in the health food section and either add skim milk or a plain yoghurt to it too.

If you need something a little sweeter, add a drip of honey or flavoured yoghurt?

I use quick cooking oats and zap them in the microwave using a half/half mix of skim milk and water as I personally find using just water not as nice.

Traditional flavourings are butter and salt or brown sugar/ honey but obviously not a healthy option I would also suggest the pre-flavoured sachet ones, although rather yummy are choc full of sugar *sigh*. I buy them as a treat breakfast when we travel.

My kids like sultanas stirred through, or chopped dried apricots maybe with a drizzle of honey. Sometimes they add milk, sometimes they like it without... gosh, sometimes they don't even want me to cook it first and just eat dried oats! LOL

Hope that helps.

I make a muesli which is an old WW recipe.

1/3 cup oat bran
50g natural almonds coarsely chopped
1/2 cup sultanas
110g dried figs chopped
1/4 cup sunflower seed kernals

1 tbs linseeds

Combine all ingredients & store in an airtight container.
Makes 5 cups, 15 x 1/3 cup serves

Before you heat it, grate an apple into it. Just wash the apple, and leave it whole, and just grate it like that. Add the water and cook it. It is delicious! Super easy too!
