3 Super Easy Oat Recipes To Add To Your Morning Routine

Simple, and delicious

Oats are probably the best way to start your morning.

They are filling, energising and the best part is, that the ways you can eat oats are endless!

You can completely customise oats depending on your favourite toppings, textures and what method you want to make them.

And remember, if you are looking for an extra protein kick in the morning, be sure to add a scoop of your favourite protein powder to any of the following! Here are our favourite ways to incorporate oats into your morning routine.

Scrambled oats

The best way to describe these is like a seriously healthy banana bread – delish!

What you will need:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 banana (riper means sweeter)
  • 25g oats
  • Toppings of choice

How to:

  • Mash up your banana in a bowl
  • Add in 1 egg & your 25g of oats
  • Now is the perfect time to add in any extras such as berries or chocolate chips
  • Using a pan on medium heat with a small amount of butter, pour on your mixture like a pancake.
  • Once the mixture is cooked on one side, you can begin to scramble it by breaking it up.
  • Once it is cooked through, you can plate it up.
  • I like to serve mine with Greek yogurt, chocolate chips and microwaved frozen berries.
