Sunday brunch was a bit more casual this weekend. Cooked oat bran with all sorts of lovely toppings to add some crunch, sweetness, fibre and nutrition. Chopped dried apricots, crushed almonds, unsweetened shredded coconut, flax seeds and sunflower seeds. The kidlets had fun picking and choosing which to add. I also added a drizzle of maple syrup and just a touch of milk, to mine. Oat bran loaded like this made more of a delicious balanced cereal, rather than dumping sugar on it trying to get some flavour. There are many ways to dress up an otherwise bland breakfast cereal by adding ingredients like these. Simple, healthy and a great way to start the day!
Hope everyone had a good weekend, we did. We managed to do some Halloween costume shopping... oh it is never too early for Halloween! - JD
