Breakfast oat cups

When it comes to quick, healthy breakfast ideas you simply can’t go wrong with oats. Rolled oats are a slow-release carbohydrate and packed with fibre to keep you fuller for longer. Plus, they’re rich in thiamine, iron and magnesium. Oats are also so versatile! My family and I often enjoy chilled overnight oats, or we simply cook a warm batch of oats and add our favourite milk, such as almond milk, and various toppings like honey, flaked almonds, and coconut.

Another winning recipe is these delicious breakfast oat cups. They’re simple to make and store well in the freezer or fridge, for a quick healthy breakfast, brunch or snack option.
