INGREDIENTS
- 1/4 cup cut Irish oats
- 1 1/4 cups cold water
- 1/4 cup oat bran
- 1/4 cup dried blueberries
- Sprinkle of cinnamon
METHOD
1. A couple of hours before you get ready for bed, bring the water to the boil in a medium microwave safe container, when the water has boiled, stir in oats, cover, and let sit for 30 minutes. (If you don’t have a microwave, just boil the water and add the oats.)
2. Put into the fridge. I wrote to Health Canada about the safety of leaving this out all night on the counter and the Coles Notes version to that question was – ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? NO!
3. As soon as you get up the next morning, get the oatmeal out of the fridge, stir and pour it into a small pot on the stove, if it looks really thick add a little more water.
4. Heat over medium. Bring back to the boil, add oat bran and dried blueberries, stir well, and let simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Remove from heat, stir, divide in half, add milk, sprinkle with cinnamon, and sweetener of choice if desired, and enjoy.
