Cranberry and Roasted Hazelnut Overnight Oats
Cranberry and Roasted Hazelnut Overnight Oats
My first encounter with overnight oats was over 30 years ago while living in Australia. At the time, the idea of eating cold, raw porridge seemed completely mad, but how things have changed, or perhaps I have changed!
This creamy oat combination is a testament to how simple and satisfying cold porridge can be. It’s perfect for busy mornings, lunchboxes, a quick snack or a simple supper!
