Oats are well known for their nutritional benefits, having high levels of dietary fibre. Their subtle nutty deliciousness makes the perfect base for your breakfast cereals, as well as a versatile baking ingredient. Whip up a porridge by adding your favourite milk. Just use double the amount of liquid to oats, bring to the boil and simmer for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Throw in some fresh fruit before serving. Or, use as a base for your own bircher muesli. Just add other flakes, dried fruit, nuts and seeds. Soak overnight and serve with grated apple and yoghurt.
