These Turkish delight-inspired oats are the perfect sweet, comforting breakfast on a chilly morning. “I believe breakfast is such a great opportunity to be creative, and for me, oats are that blank canvas that can take on any flavour – sweet or savoury. If you’d like yours a bit sweeter, you can swap out the dark chocolate for milk chocolate.”
