Creamy Breakfast Oats with Honey, Nuts and Fruits

By Marna Ross Updated 12 August 2026 4.50 from 20 ratings
I would like to introduce you to this lovely creamy oats with honey, fruits and nuts breakfast recipe. I would say a lot of my generation and before grew up with cooked oats. Just as it or a bit spiced up with fruits or honey. I also cooked oats for a few guests while still working as a chef. In this recipe, the cream give it a lovely creamy texture and flavour, and with the fruits, nuts and honey this is just a lovely breakfast meal. If you love nuts, try the healthy granola, yogurt and fruit parfait recipe.
