Do you mix milk with granola?

Accidentally bought a bag of oatbran,thinking it was porridge oats. have a bm.
what can i use it for?

you could mix it in with peanut butter and use it on toast, ryvita etc

add it to cereal

add it to bread dough or cake batter (even muffins) but don't add too much as it will be overpowering and always increase liquid when using bran in baking it is like a sponge!

You could put in homemade muffins to give them a bit more fibre.
I've got loads of recipes so PM me with your email address if you'd like me to send you some.

What about smoothies, muffins or nigella's instant homemade pancakes?

Silly question time. Would i mix the dry fruit in thriftlady - when i am storing it, or just before use? Just in case the fruit makes it go soggy?

Sadly I can't have cereal and have to be careful with oats so my breakfasts consist of gluten free stones- I mean rolls- eggs, bacon, cheese, rice gruels and reheated leftovers. On my days off I have miso soup with rice and a raw egg beaten in.

Boys love oats and have now accepted Asda's F&F after realising if they want Kellogs they will have to buy it themselves! They also get through a lot of eggs, bacon and beans but I dont mind as they are growing lads and they say you should breakfast like a king. It all balances out at the end of the day..

What about crumpets, Sainsburys Basics are about 35p for 6, you can butter or put a bit of cheese on, mine like them, and they are low in fat

I mix it in prior to storing it. I generally use dried apricots, raisins and sultanas. It doesn't go soggy.

rice pudding made in advance and microwaved to order?
