Looking for a warm, nourishing and diabetes-friendly breakfast?

Did you know rolled oats are an excellent source of soluble fibre, particularly beta-glucan? This powerful fibre is known for its ability to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, improve blood sugar control, and promote longer-lasting fullness. All of this makes oats a smart choice for those managing diabetes or looking to maintain a healthy heart.

Pair oats with the natural sweetness of stewed apples, a touch of cinnamon, and some healthy fats from nuts, and you’ve got a wholesome, balanced breakfast the whole family can enjoy.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ⅔ cup reduced-fat milk
  • 1 medium green apple, peeled, cored and chopped
  • ½ tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon pecans (or nut of choice), roughly chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 100g reduced-fat Greek yoghurt

Method

  1. Place apples and water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 8–10 minutes or until tender. Set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine oats and milk.
  3. Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes. Stir, then microwave for another 1 minute.
  4. Top the cooked oats with stewed apple, chopped pecans, Greek yoghurt, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
