Oat and Chia Seed Porridge
This quick and easy porridge is the perfect breakfast for a cold morning!
- 1/2 cup oats
- 2 tbsp chia of seeds

- Your favourite fresh fruit to top it- Nicola has uses raspberries and banana
- A hint of maple syrup- this is Nicola’s sweetener of choice for almost everything except baking
Cook the oats with water and add chia seeds. Add fruit, yoghurt and syrup before serving- Enjoy!
Homemade Granola
Homemade Granola is easy, nutritious and has far less than sugar than the store bought alternative
