Ingredients:
Servings: 1
Option 1 – Apple & Cinnamon Porridge
- 50g (~ 0.5 cups) uncooked rolled oats
- 350ml (1.5 cups) boiling water
- 1/2 apple, cored but unpeeled and chopped
- 1 tbsp raisins
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 3-4 walnut halves, roughly chopped, sprinkled when served
Option 2 – Banana & Cacao Porridge
- 50g (~ 0.5 cups) uncooked rolled oats
- 350ml (1.5 cups) boiling water
- 1/2 banana (fresh or frozen), sliced
- 1 tbsp raw cacao powder or carob
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1-2 tbsp unsweetened yoghurt, spooned when served
Option 3 – Chia, Coconut & Berries Porridge
- 50g (~ 0.5 cups) uncooked rolled oats
- 350ml (1.5 cups) boiling water
- 1 tbsp chia or flax seeds
- 1/2 cup berries, fresh or frozen (blueberries or raspberries would be brilliant)
- 1-2 tbsp unsweetened coconut chips, sprinkled when served
Method:
- Add the oats and the boiling water to a small saucepan and bring to the boil.
- Turn the heat to low and mix in the apple or any other fruit if frozen. It's also the time to mix in the chia or flax seeds for Option 3.
- Simmer on low to medium heat for ~ 5 minutes, stirring from time to time so the porridge doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Once the water is reduced and the porridge is nice and fluffy, turn off the heat and mix in the rest of the ingredients other than the ones to be sprinkled or spooned when served.
- Serve the porridge in a bowl and decorate it with the ingredients reserved for sprinkling or spooning. We eat with our eyes, so make your porridge look attractive!
