Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Scottish oats — Use traditional Scottish oats for the authentic texture and flavor. Avoid using instant oats, as they will not provide the same results.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a creamier texture, you can add a splash of milk or cream to the Oatmeal Brose while it simmers.
  • Customize your Oatmeal Brose by adding your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, or chopped nuts.
  • If you prefer a sweeter flavor, drizzle maple syrup or sprinkle brown sugar over the Oatmeal Brose before serving.
  • Leftover Oatmeal Brose can be refrigerated and reheated the next day. Simply add a splash of water or milk while reheating to restore the desired consistency.
  • Experiment with different spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to add a unique twist to your Oatmeal Brose.
