Equipment

  • Small pot
  • Spoon
  • Bowl

Ingredients
 

  • 4 tbsp rolled oats
  • 125 ml water
  • 1 tbsp thin oats
  • ½ tsp sugar, date syrup or maple syrup (optional)
  • 125 ml plant milk
Others
  • 1 tbsp vegan yoghurt
  • Fruits (banana, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, apple, etc.)
  • 1 tsp jam or nut butter (optional)
  • Date syrup or maple syrup (optional)
  • Raw pecans or other nuts

Instructions
 

  • Simmer the oats in water. Over low-medium heat, add the water and rolled oats into a small pot, wait until it simmers, with stirring, and lower to low heat.
  • Add sweetness. Mix for 1 minute, then add the sugar (if desired).

Notes

  1. The desired, soft and cloudy texture of the oats is mostly achieved from cooking it in water, so try not to skip this.
  2. For a low-FODMAP version, skip the apple and swap the yoghurt for a coconut-based one.
  3. To make it nut-free, replace nuts with sunflower or pumpkin seeds and choose seed butters.
  4. You can prep the dry base (rolled oats, thin oats, sugar) ahead in jars for a quick grab-and-cook meal!
  5. To increase protein, stir in 1 tsp chia or flax seeds while cooking.
