On work days my breakfast is almost always an overnight oats combination and during the Summer months I enjoy a bowl of yogurt and homemade granola for breakfast on weekends but during winter I need something warmer for breakfast on the weekend, something to fill my belly and keep me going through the morning.
During Winter I also play field hockey on a Saturday and am often playing two games starting from midday which means my breakfast really needs to fuel my body I want a solid healthy breakfast and this oat recipe offers the perfect breakfast option.
This recipe makes the creamiest and tastiest oats and the dates offer a wonderful caramel flavour without being too sweet. I found this recipe makes enough for 2 people to enjoy a big bowl of warm and delicious salted caramel breakfast oats.
