I can see it says 60g oats. Would using wheat bran give the same results please? I don't know which oatmeal you use.
For the time being I will use 40g porridge oats HEb.
Hi it's just regular plain oats. I haven't use wheat bran, so couldn't say what the results would be like. Hope that helps. 🙂
I've just tried the recipe and it is delishious, thank you.
I don't suppose you've tried batch cooking this to eat later in the week?
