Just tucked into my home made toasted oats snack. I often make this for myself as its tasty and quick to do when I need my version of a treat and I normally have all the ingredients to hand. This oat recipe is so easy to make and completely flexible depending on dietary intolerance’s – as long as you can eat oats.
Toasted oats snack
Toasted Oats Snack Ingredients:
-
Handful of oats
-
Large tablespoon of dessicated coconut (sugar free)
-
A few teaspoons of linseeds, sun flower seeds, pumpkins seeds etc (optional)
NB. Essentially you need around 1:4 ratio of oats to coconut.In a small frying pan add all the ingredients and gently toast, tossing the mixture intermittently to make sure it doesn’t burn. It will take a few minutes for the oats to warm through and toast slightly.
Remove the oats mixture from the pan then you can accompany with various toppings to enjoy, my partner and I like this for breakfast and I have it as a snack.
Toasted Oats Suggested toppings:
-
A spoon for soya yogurt, a teaspoon of pure fruit spread and a sprig of mint.
-
Avoiding all yoghurts…in the oats mixture add a few glugs of soya of rice milk and stir so that mixture is slightly wet. Add some fresh berries and a few nuts for crunch.
-
If you are avoiding fruit sugars, as I try to, and some yogurt of your choice and a spring of cocoa.
My Toasted Oats Snack is really flexible, let me know any combos that you try out.
