Berry and cinnamon oat bowls

A bowl of oats is a nutritious breakfast and doesn’t have to be the same every day. Here is a fun and colourful way to brighten up your next breakfast.

Berries are known for their health benefits as they are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and a natural way to sweeten the oats. Enjoy the flavour combination of these fruits with a dash of lemon zest, cinnamon and a sprinkle of nuts and seeds.

Ingredients: 

• One cup of uncooked oats
• Three cups of water 
• Half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 400 to 450g of berries, like strawberries, blueberries and gooseberries, cut to your preference 
• Three tablespoons of pumpkin seeds
• Three tablespoons of flaked almonds or more seeds
• One teaspoon of finely grated lemon rind (optional)

Method: 

• Place oats, water, cinnamon and salt in a saucepan. Bring to the boil over a medium heat. When it begins to simmer, stir continuously to prevent lumps. Simmer for about five to ten minutes or until cooked to your preference.
• Spoon oats into bowls and top each portion with fresh berries, seeds and nuts. Add a sprinkle of grated lemon rind and serve immediately.
