Ingredients:
- 40 grams of rolled oats
- 100 grams of natural yogurt
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- Grated rind from half an orange
- 1 small Granny Smith apple, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground Ceylon cinnamon
- 10 grams honey
- 15 grams crushed walnuts (optional)
Instructions:
- Combine the Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and natural yogurt. Mix well until the oats are coated with yogurt.
- Add Freshness and Flavor: Pour in the freshly squeezed orange juice to the oat-yogurt mixture. Grate the rind from half an orange into the bowl to infuse the mixture with a zesty citrus flavor.
- Grate the Apple: Grate the small Granny Smith apple and add it to the mixture. The grated apple will add a refreshing crunch and a touch of tartness that complements the other flavors.
- Sweeten and Spice: Sprinkle in the ground Ceylon cinnamon for a warm, fragrant spice. Drizzle the honey over the mixture to add a touch of sweetness. Mix all these ingredients together thoroughly.
- Let It Rest: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to soak up the flavors and moisture, resulting in a creamy and satisfying texture.
- Serve and Garnish: Once the oats have absorbed the liquid and softened, give the mixture a good stir. If using crushed walnuts, sprinkle them on top just before serving for a delightful crunch and extra nutty goodness.
