    Let’s Talk… Oats! – My Favourite Overnight Oats Recipe

    The first time I had cold overnight oats, I was rather confused as it tasted very much like a pudding dessert. When I started experimenting with the different toppings and layering, I was so exhilarated and happy because I can finally eat desserts without feeling guilty anymore! 😀 Overnight oats is basically a no-cook method of making oatmeal.

    Quaker Golden Syrup Oatmeal Cookies

    In continuation to the Oats Series, today I am sharing a new recipe to make these scrumptious looking Oatmeal Cookies! 🙂 Unlike any other oatmeal cookie recipes, this recipe specifically requires the Quaker’s Golden Syrup instant oatmeal sachets.

    Let’s talk… Oats! – 7 AMAZING Benefits

    Welcome to a new series! As the title clearly states, let’s talk…… Oats! What are oats? Today, hundreds of types of cereal crops grown around the world occupy the top of the health food chart. Wholegrains are the seeds of these cereal plants and consist of the endosperm, germ and bran. Refined grains have the germ and bran removed so 75% of the nutrients are lost, i.e. plain white rice.
