Crowdie-Mowdie is a hearty and traditional Scottish steamed pudding with a simple ingredient list of oatmeal and milk. It's a classic comfort food for cold weather and can be served warm with honey or cream. While this dessert may not be suitable for a vegan or gluten-free diet due to its oatmeal and milk content, it does offer some health benefits. Oatmeal is low in fat and high in fiber, which can aid digestion and keep you feeling full. Milk also has calcium and vitamin D, important for bone health.
