Warm porridge (or oatmeal for my non-UK readers) is great for a staple breakfast, but have you every tried it cold? Not cooked and then left to cool. These oats are soaked overnight in milk so they’re ready to eat in the morning. A hearty-yet-healthy meal you can make ahead - now that’s my kind of breakfast! Use whatever milk you like - regular, coconut, almond - you could even go for chocolate milk if you want to indulge (no, that’s definitely not me, no - she says ignoring the last post of creme egg with cinnamon toast soldiers……).
Soaking the oats overnight softens them, whilst still ensuring a bit of a bite. It also produces a quick, make-ahead breakfast with a beautifully creamy consistency. Mix and match thetoppings depending on what you have in. A few suggestions include:
Raspberry and Almond Chocolate Chip, Chia Seed and Banana Honey, Pear and Walnut
