Tips

  • Ceylon cinnamon dissolves more readily than cassia and has a sweeter, more delicate profile that works perfectly in gentle breakfast dishes.
  • For overnight oats, combine all ingredients cold in a jar the night before and refrigerate. The cinnamon flavour deepens beautifully overnight.
  • Swap the banana for stewed apple, poached pear, or seasonal berries depending on the time of year.
