Creamy Breakfast Oats, is an amazingly satisfying breakfast, that helps keep you fuller for longer and tastes delicious.
So it’s been a while I’ve been meaning to get this family favourite, creamy breakfast oats, recipe archived into my blogosphere, and what better time than right now. With Muslims around the World well into the 1st week of Ramadaan, this makes for an fantastic Sehri/Suhoor option. There are many other ways to enjoy oats, but this here, is how the elder females in my family have been doing it. Don’t you just LOVE recipes that stand the test of time. Now many generations down, this creamy breakfast oats, is still the only way we enjoy oats in the morning. South Africa is in the middle of Autumn season, and the days, especially the mornings, have turned a wee bit chilly and frosty in my part of the country. This warm porridge, certainly does the trick to warm us up at sehri/suhoor and helps keep us feeling fuller for longer. ALHAMDULILLAH!
With just a few ingredients, you too can quickly whip this up for your loved ones.
