Oats are a good source of soluble fibre which feed the good bacteria in the gut, supporting the microbiome. They contain beta-glucans which are helpful in regulating cholesterol levels and support the immune system. They have a lower glycaemic index compared to white bread which supports more balanced blood sugar levels.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup oats
  • Water or plant based milk
  • Chunk of creamed coconut block

Method:

  • Add oats to a pot. Just cover with water and allow to soak for up to 30 minutes (if time allows)
  • Add chunk of creamed coconut and some more water or some plant based milk if all liquid absorbed.
  • Heat gently on the hob until hot and mixture thickened. Add more liquid if needed.
  • Add toppings of your choice, such as stewed fruit, handful of berries, sliced banana, chopped nuts, sprinkle of seeds, dollop of greek yoghurt or plant-based yoghurt.
  • Add a scoop of protein powder to keep you full until lunch.
  • Enjoy!

My favourite gluten free oats are from a Scottish company based in Laurencekirk called Honest Oats. Click here to visit their website.
