15 minutes

Oatmeal with cinnamon and dried fruits is a warm, cozy breakfast that fills the morning with the aroma of spices and the natural sweetness of fruits. The origins of this dish trace back to American kitchens where oatmeal holds an important place as a source of energy and benefits. Cinnamon adds a warming, slightly spicy flavor to the mix, while dried fruits contribute notes of sweetness and textural variety. The overnight soaking makes the oats soft, and honey adds a light caramel depth. The dish is finished off with the crunch of hazelnuts, making it even richer. This breakfast is perfect for a lively start to the day, energizing you and providing a moment of morning harmony.
