1 Put the oats in a saucepan, pour in 1⅓ cups milk or water and sprinkle in a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil and simmer for 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally and watching carefully so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Add more milk if needed. Or, do this in a microwave. Mix the oats, milk or water and a pinch of salt in a large microwave-safe bowl, then microwave on high for 5 mins, stirring halfway through. Add more milk if needed. Leave to stand for 2 mins before eating.
2 To serve, pour into bowls, then spoon over Greek yogurt, thinned with a little milk, and drizzle with honey.
