Full Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup oats – A great source of fiber that keeps you full and satisfied.
50 g cranberries – Add a tangy, sweet flavor and are rich in antioxidants.
50 g dried apricots – Provide natural sweetness and are a good source of vitamin A and potassium.
60 g nuts (your choice) – Add crunch and healthy fats. Choose from almonds, walnuts, or pecans.
1 banana – Adds natural sweetness and potassium.
1 apple – Provides a crisp texture and natural sweetness.
50 g oats – For added texture and fiber.
Instructions:
1. Prepare the ingredients:
Start by slicing the banana and dicing the apple into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Next, chop the dried apricots and nuts into smaller pieces to ensure every bite of your oatmeal mix offers a perfect balance of flavors and textures.
2. Combine the oatmeal base:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, cranberries, dried apricots, and nuts. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
3. Add fresh fruit:
Gently fold in the sliced banana and chopped apple. The fresh fruits add juicy, sweet notes that complement the chewy and crunchy textures.
4. Top with oats:
Sprinkle the remaining oats over the mixture. This step not only enhances the texture but also boosts the fiber content, making your breakfast even more nutritious.
To serve:
Enjoy it as-is, or add a splash of plant-based milk or yogurt for extra creaminess. You can also refrigerate it overnight for a cold, ready-to-go breakfast.
