Also known as porridge, these spiced instant rolled oats make a hearty breakfast or treat that will warm you up on a cold winter morning. If you live anywhere in the cold climates, this is a great way to start the day.

The flavors of cinnamon and cardamom add a pleasing scent and the cashews give this porridge a nice amount of crunch. It is sweetened with a bit of honey or sugar.

I want to thank David from Australia for taking the time to submit this recipe. I made it and it was delicious! What a great idea to add cashews, as I would not have thought about adding nuts into the oatmeal, but is tastes wonderful and was very pleased with the result.

When David submitted this recipe, I had to look up what a knob of butter meant, as it was a term I was unfamiliar with. A knob of butter is roughly 2 Tablespoons, give or take a bit. You can adjust the amount of butter to your liking.

If you do not have cardamom, you can just omit it from the recipe, but I did find it added a nice flavor to the oatmeal.
