Creamy oatmeal topped with grated apple, toasted hazelnuts and some sweet brown sugar. Try this super simple recipe for a great, wholesome breakfast!
I recently took a trip to the incredible 26 Grains in London’s Neal’s Yard. It’s a cute little place (well, tiny actually) and they serve more delicious breakfast foods than you can imagine. The long wait was totally worth it for the steaming bowl of sweet hazelnutty oatmeal that arrived, I knew I had to try and recreate it at home as Switzerland to London is just a bit too much of a commute for breakfast!
I used my signature basic oatmeal recipe to create the base, (you can watch a video tutorial on exactly how I make it here), with the addition of a knob of butter at the end. Oh man, that butter just adds a hint of smooth creaminess and saltiness, it’s just divine. Definitely on the indulgent side, but hey, it’s allowed sometimes right?
The cool, crisp grated apple and the crunchy toasted hazelnuts are the perfect compliment to this smooth, creamy base. It’s definitely helping to keep my cravings at bay until I can next go back to London!
