Breakfast Cranachan
Our founder Jennifer Irvine’s husband is Scottish, and so naturally cranachan is a favourite in her house. While traditionally cranachan is made with whisky, she created this lighter alcohol-free version, with extra nuts and fruit, which is perfect for breakfast.

Preparation
- Place the oats in a non-stick frying pan and toast over a low heat, stirring regularly for about 3 minutes, or until they start to change colour.
- Transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Place half of the each of the berries into a small mixing bowl and mash well with a fork.
- Add the yoghurt and the crème fraiche, and stir to create a “rippled” effect.
- Gently fold in the toasted oats, almonds and the whole berries. Save a handful of berries for decoration.
- Divide the mix between 2 serving glasses, and drizzle the honey on top to serve, and decorate with a few berries.
