Warm Honey Cinnamon Oats
Simple breakfast to get you started on a busy day. Oats are a healthy energy boost to have first thing in the morning. All you need is 1 cup of jumbo oats (or rolled) 3/4 cup of a milk of your choice (I use unsweetened almond milk).
Cook on the hob for 10 minutes on medium heat until light and fluffy, pour into a bowl and drizzle in raw honey and cinnamon
I like to mix it all together to spread the sweetness of the honey π
Definitely made me feel cosy this morning! Enjoy!
Quinoa Granola
I love making big batches of Granola for a simple healthy breakfast during the weekdays when I’m limited for time. I wanted to see change it up a bit so I used Quinoa along with the usual oats and the texture was beautiful and crunchy!
It’s very easy to make and its packed full of protein and nuts and seeds full of healthy fats, antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals

Spread the mixture and bake for 30 minutes stirring every 10 mins to ensure even baking
When cooled, store in an airtight container for up to three weeks π
Homemade Fig Jam
I always wanted to make my own jam and I love figs so thought I’d start with homemade fig jam! Most jam recipes will contain lots of refined sugars so aren’t actually good for you, so I wanted to make mine without any refined sugar and as healthy as possible
First I bought about 5 Figs
I cut the Figs up into quarters
Mashed the figs up
Poured into a pan then added 1 tablespoon of pure honey
Then simmered with the lid on for about 20 minutes on a low-medium heat
I had mine with a freshly made crepe and greek yoghurt it tasted amazing! It also goes great with nut butter on toast and banana bread π
