If you're looking for a nutritious and filling breakfast option, perhaps one that is a little different from traditional porridge, groat oats are an excellent choice. Here's how to cook them to perfection:
-
Soak the groat oats: Soak the groat oats in water overnight to help soften them and reduce cooking time. Alternatively, you can soak them for a few hours before cooking.
-
Boil the groat oats: In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the soaked groat oats and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the groats are tender.
-
Season the groat oats: Once the groats are cooked, season them to your liking with salt, butter, and any other desired toppings such as honey, fruit, or nuts.
-
Enjoy! Serve the groat oats hot and enjoy a nutritious and satisfying breakfast.
Cooked groats can be stored in the fridge for a few days and reheated when you need them. You can also add milk for a creamier flavour.
