Questions about Cinnamon and spice instant oats
How do you make cinnamon and spice instant oats on the hob?
Put one 45 g packet in a small pan with about 180 ml milk or water. Stir over a medium heat for 2–3 minutes, until creamy; add a splash more liquid if you prefer looser porridge.
Can you make cinnamon and spice instant oats with just a kettle?
Yes. Tip a packet into a heatproof bowl, pour over about 180 ml freshly boiled water and stir well. Leave for 2–3 minutes so the oats absorb the liquid, then loosen with a little more water if needed.
What can you add to cinnamon and spice instant oats?
Chopped apple or pear, sliced banana, raisins and toasted nuts all work well with the warm spice. Stir in fruit after cooking, or add a spoonful of yoghurt once the porridge has cooled slightly.
How do you make cinnamon and spice instant oats more filling?
Cook them with milk instead of water, then top with Greek yoghurt, nut butter or a handful of nuts. A packet is a convenient single serving; it provides 4.3 g protein and 3.6 g fibre.
Can you prepare cinnamon and spice instant oats the night before?
Yes: stir the oats and milk together in a covered container and refrigerate overnight. They will be thicker and less like hot porridge; add a splash of milk and warm them in a pan or microwave, stirring partway through.
Are cinnamon and spice instant oats sweet?
They contain 25 g sugars per 100 g, so the flavour is already sweet. Taste the cooked porridge before adding honey or sugar; fresh apple or a few berries can add sweetness without making it cloying.
How do cinnamon and spice instant oats compare with plain instant oats?
Plain instant oats have more protein and fibre: 11.9 g protein and 10 g fibre per 100 g, compared with 9.5 g and 8 g in cinnamon and spice instant oats. The flavoured version is already sweetened and spiced.
Can you use cinnamon and spice instant oats in baking?
Yes. Use them in oat muffins, flapjacks or crumble topping, bearing in mind that the spice and sweetness are already built in. For a crumble, rub the oats with butter and flour, scatter over fruit and bake at 180 °C until golden.
