7Cook’s Notes
-
8This recipe is best using jumbo rolled oats although it can also be made with standard oats. Jumbo rolled oats give body and texture to the dish.
-
9Why not try changing your ‘add-ons’ - swap sultanas for raisins or even dried apricots, and almonds are a great replacement for hazelnuts. Oat milk can also be exchanged for any dairy or non-dairy alternative.
