By the way, oats are incredibly nutrient dense. They are high in fibre and are loaded with vitamins and minerals including Manganese, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Copper, Iron, Zinc, Folate, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B5 and small amounts of Potassium, Calcium, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B3.
Who doesn’t love Autumn? I mean really? Have you seen the colour palette out there? Have you seen the pumpkin latte adverts? Have you smelt the gingerbread? Have you felt that very slight breeze that sent you into a scarf finding frenzy? Oh.. that was just me?
Are you like me? Have you gotten all your cosy things out of the cupboards already? Are you ready to swathe yourself in a rather large, warm and cuddly blanket come 8pm? Are you making hot chocolate every day? How about an oaty chai latte? YES my friends. I have been making chai latte with oats and it is the stuff dreams are made of! Have you made all manner of ginger based recipes? Have you worn a hat indoors and those indoor boots yet? Have you most importantly, worn that lipstick colour? The one that comes out every Autumn? I don’t even know its name but I know you know.
By the way, I love oats. Not just because they are versatile but because they are filling, healthy and they can be dressed up or eaten plain. I could eat porridge every single day in all manners of ways. Current obsession is figs..I cannot stop making porridge with figs. Not long ago it was bananas and before that it was pears. All of them included chocolate..duh I hear you say. I can’t help it and dark chocolate is healthy right? By the way, is porridge called oatmeal in America?
