Method:

Heat butter/ghee in a medium size saucepan, on medium heat and add the cinnamon sticks.
Turn down the heat, add the raw oats and toast on low heat for about 7-10 minutes – until the oats change
colour and release an aroma.

Slowly add the water and salt and allow to cook for 5-7 minutes before adding the ideal milk and cinnamon powder.
Allow to cook for another 5-7 minutes or until you see the mixture getting thick.
Add the ground flax, sunflower, sesame, pumpkin and almonds to the above mixture and allow to cook for a further 1-2 minutes.
Serve hot with some honey and toasted flaked almonds.
