Ingredients (serves: 4-6)
470ml water
100g rolled oats
¼tsp cinnamon (plus more for serving)
200g blueberries, fresh or frozen
3-4tbsp maple syrup (to taste)
Pinch salt
2 large ready cooked (vacuum pack) beetroot, chopped

Method
Bring the water to the boil in a medium-sized saucepan and tip in the rolled oats and cinnamon.
Reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all water is absorbed.
While the oats are cooking, in a separate pan, combine the blueberries, maple syrup and a pinch of salt. Cover the pan and place on a medium heat.
Bring this mixture to the boil then uncover and allow blueberries to cook gently until soft and the juice around the blueberries is thick (about 10 minutes).
Add the chopped beetroot and continue cooking just until beetroot is hot. Add desired amount of oatmeal and blueberry-beet sauce to bowls. Serve with plain yogurt and chopped walnuts.
