Ingredients
Porridge
- 80g rolled oats
- 100ml almond milk ( optional )
- 1 tsp vanilla extract ( optional )
- 10g sultanas
Apple topping
- 80g rolled oats
- 100ml almond milk ( optional )
- 1 tsp vanilla extract ( optional )
- 10g sultanas
- 1 whole apple
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp sweetner
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp allspice
Method
- STEP 1Pour the rolled oats into a saucepan, along with 300ml of water and bring to the boil.
- STEP 2Bring the porridge down to a simmer and add in the sultanas. When the porridge begins to thicken, you can choose to add the almond milk, vanilla extract or simply more water. Leave the oats on a low simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- STEP 3Peel and chop your apple into 3cm chunks. Place the apple into a saucepan along with the lemon juice and 3 tbsp of water. Stir so all chunks are covered in the juice.
- STEP 4On a low heat, add in the sweetner and cover until the apple begins to soften. When the chunks become tender, add the spices and stir through. Leave to cook for a further minute.
- STEP 5Pour the porridge oats between two bowls and top with the warm spiced apple mix. Serve and enjoy.
