· Fresh fruit and maple syrup to serve

Notes
The solube fibre in oats is beneficial for gut health and they are one of the key foods included in Phase 1 of the IBD-AID diet, a therapeutic dietary approach for people with IBD.
However, if you find it difficult to tolerate oats during a flare you could try swapping rolled oats for quick oats (more processed) and/or cook the oats vs soaking overnight. Blending the oats in a smoothie is another option.
