Recipe serves 2 people.

Prep time; 5 minutes

The Traditionally Scottish recipe for Cracachan would have used a mixture of oats, whisky, blackberries and cream. This is a, slightly, healthier version. Serves 2.

50g Jordans Muesli or Porridge Oats
25g soft brown sugar
150g low fat crème fraiche or low fat Greek yogurt
2tbs whisky, plus extra for drizzling (optional)
150g blackberries, you could try raspberries if you wanted a different flavour

2 tumbler style glasses

Preheat the grill to medium
Mix the muesli or oats and sugar together and spread evenly on a baking tray. Place under the grill. Cook for 3 minutes until the sugar is caramelized, stirring the mixture from time to time, watch like a hawk or the cereal will burn! Remove from the grill and set aside to cool.
Pour the yogurt into a large bowl, add the whisky and mix until smooth
Loosely break up the cooled oat mixture between (clean!) fingers and add most of the oats to the yogurt, reserving a few tablespoon for the top.
Place some of the berries into the glasses then spoon a generous dollop of the yogurt over the top and repeat the layers of fruit and yogurt again. Add a few berries to the top, scatter with a little reserved oat mixture and drizzle with whisky if you are feeling naughty.

my grandson stays over sometimes when his mum works. he is hard to please as regards his food I asked him if he would like porridge (Gordons) for breakfast he said "no" he noticed bars of Gordons ceriel bars in the cupboard and asked for one of them, he loved it and now he askes his mum to buy them for him, he now eats them instead of sweets.
