Oat clusters bring texture to a breakfast bowl without needing any cooking. Jordans Country Crisp Dark Chocolate combines baked clusters with chocolate curls, so a simple bowl of milk or yoghurt gives you a starting point.
The Jordans Country Crisp Dark Chocolate at Fresh is the 400 g pack. Here are two easy ways to serve it, with a clear look at what the portion information means.
Choose how you want the crunch
- With milk: put your chosen amount of cereal in a bowl and add milk just before eating. Begin with a small pour and add more to suit the texture you enjoy.
- Over yoghurt: spoon the yoghurt into a bowl first, add any fruit you want, then scatter the cereal on top at the last moment. If you are preparing ahead, keep the cereal in a separate dry container until you are ready to eat.
Start with a plain base and taste the combination before adding sweet toppings. The cereal already contains dark chocolate and sugar.
Use the serving weight when comparing calories
The photographed 400 g pack lists 201 kcal per 45 g portion and 448 kcal per 100 g. These figures are for the cereal alone, without milk. Yoghurt, milk, fruit and other additions change the total for the finished bowl.
To see what the labelled portion looks like, put an empty bowl on a kitchen scale, zero it and weigh out 45 g. Treat that as the reference used on the nutrition label, then choose a portion that suits your meal. A smaller sprinkle over yoghurt will be a different amount, so weigh it separately if you are tracking it.
Know what the chocolate description means
The pack lists wholegrain cereals at 50%, made from oat flakes and oat flour, and dark chocolate curls at 10%. The chocolate has a minimum of 70% cocoa solids. That percentage describes the chocolate curls, rather than the cereal as a whole.
The label declares oats, barley and soya. It also warns that the cereal may contain milk, almonds, Brazil nuts, cashew nuts, hazelnuts, pecan nuts, rye, spelt and wheat. Check the ingredients and allergy advice on your own box before serving, as packaging and recipes can change.
Keep the next bowl ready
Use a dry scoop, close the inner bag securely after pouring and keep it away from steam or splashes. Follow the storage directions and best-before date on your box. Keeping the cereal separate from wet ingredients until serving is a simple way to enjoy its crunchy texture.
