Ingredients
- 80 g fine rolled oats
- 220 ml oat drink or lactose-free milk
- 1 small mild apple, peeled
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 1 tsp chia seeds
Method
- Mix the oats, milk or oat drink and optional chia seeds the night before.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Dice the peeled apple and soften it with two tablespoons of water.
- Warm the oats gently in a saucepan, fold in the apple and finish with a little cinnamon.
Why this recipe is gentle
The apple is peeled and briefly cooked, which softens it and takes off some of its bite compared with raw fruit. Oats and a little chia bring soluble fiber without added fat or spice, and there is no citrus, onion or garlic here.
General information, not medical advice or a treatment claim. Reactions are individual. If heartburn or reflux is frequent, severe or persistent, see a doctor.
Tips
- Peel and cook the apple rather than using it raw, since the skin and raw flesh are harder to digest.
- Keep the cinnamon to a pinch, or leave it out entirely if it tends to bother you.
- Warm the oats through gently instead of serving them fridge-cold.
