Recipes
As well as making a really healthy breakfast, porridge oats and oatmeal are very versatile cooking ingredients, and can be enjoyed in a wide variety of sweet and savoury recipes.
You could also try these simple ideas to include more oats in your diet:
- try sprinkling oatmeal onto freshly boiled new potatoes
- oatmeal is great for thickening mince, stews and soups
- mix some oatmeal with cheese, and use to top cauliflower cheese or macaroni cheese before browning under the grill
- try oatmeal and porridge oats as part of a delicious topping for fruit crumbles.
Experiment with different flaked or chopped nuts to change the taste and texture - use pinhead oatmeal instead of breadcrumbs when baking or frying fish, poultry or meat
