Twice the plums

Prunes…tasty, sweet and full of goodness are your first thoughts-right? Or is it ‘old people’ and ‘fiber’? I find it strange prunes are famed for their fiber when beans are so full of it and even in the fruit world, dried figs have more fiber! Let’s go back to prunes being lovely!

Spot the prune!

This morning my plum was a little sad, it was so over ripe I had to operate on it and remove bits. In order to top up the fruit per serving I added 2 prunes, chopped and mixed through. Heated up they smelt intoxicating-kind of yeasty. That might not be the best description, and truly the photos don’t do this justice- but just try a prune chopped up as a topping and see!

Plums look a lot better before mixing!

Method

1. Chop up the plums, mix with a fork in a bowl to make them really mussy.
2. Chop the prunes (its much easier with scissors).
3. Mix the plums with oats and milk
4. Top with the prunes and microwave for 2-3 mins
5. Enjoy the plummy goodness!
