Oat Surprise Low Gi

• 12 cup rolled oats (porridge oats)
• 1 dried apricot halves, chopped finely (Yes only ONE apricot)
• 1 cup water, boiled
• 3 tablespoons low-fat milk
• 18 teaspoon vanilla (about 4 to 6 drops or to taste)
• 1 pinch cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
• 5 cashews, chopped
• 5 almonds, chopped

1. Combine first 6 ingredients in bowl, microwave on HIGH 2 mins, stir, microwave another 1 minute Add topping, stir through, leave to sit for a minute if you prefer thicker, or add a little water if you prefer thinner.
2. Other alternatives would be mashed banana, other dried fruits in miniscule amounts to keep it low GI.
3. Pepitas are great high protein toppers too.
4. This will give you a sustained release of energy rather than the eat, run, then get tired routine with normal shop cereals.
