Have any of you tried soaking porridge oats overnight in milk with yogurt and fruit?

I must find a recipe to make sure I add all the ingredients.

It is supposed to be easily digested.

I love porridge but not raw soggy oats. We just have jumbo oats mixed with sultanas and mixed broken nuts, plus milk.
Absolutely fine.

The Alpro Go On Soya Yoghurts (high in protein) work well with cold oats. I add: grated pear and cardamon, grated apple and cinnamon, mixed frozen berries, dried mango, chopped nectarine. Plus a drop of rice milk or almond milk if the mixture looks a bit dry. The hardest thing for me is concocting them last thing at night, as I'm far more of a morning person. Glad others just mix & eat - I was a bit worried the oats would be swelling in my stomach!
Enjoy!

Oats/oat bran soaked for 5 minutes in the morning. Add whatever fruit is to hand plus seeds/linseed. Usually top with Greek yogurt but I bought Roddas Crème fraiche from Waitrose last week. It's divine. 30% fat but still a lot less than double cream so in my book, healthy!

Well I have mixed up my breakfast oats for tomorrow based on a combination of your suggestions. Roll on breakfast time. ?

Yes thank you Jane I think I have to work on the consistency a bit more, it was a bit thick. I think one more spoonful of yoghurt would have made it perfect. ?
