Steel-cut oats have more bite and a lower glycaemic hit than rolled oats, which is exactly why they're worth the extra simmering. Grating the apple in melts it into the porridge so you barely need any added sweetness, and the walnuts bring omega-3s and crunch.
Ingredients
- 80 g steel-cut oats , dry weight
- 250 ml semi-skimmed milk (1.5% fat)
- 250 ml water
