I’m sure that porridge is a favourite for many of us. Nourishing, filling and so delicious! Here I combined my porridge with fresh apples, redcurrant and a little peanut butter. A perfect morning treat, yum! 😊

YOU’LL NEED

Porridge oats: if you’re on a gluten free diet you need to buy gluten free oats as manufacturing can cause cross contamination. Hence if the product does not specify gluten free, the manufacturer cannot guarantee that your oat is gluten free.
Milk: for creaminess use milk (dairy or non-dairy both works).
Toppings: fresh fruit, this time I added freshly cut apple and redcurrant. Peanut butter: a little peanut butter is a great combination with the apple slices.

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS/MIX-INS
These are a lot of possibilities when it comes to toppings and mix-ins for porridge. Let’s see a few of the many:
*Seeds and nuts: linseed, sunflower seeds or walnuts
*spices: hint of mixed spices, cinnamon or nutmeg can be a nice addition
*vanilla extract: why not try to add it to your porridge
*drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer vegan
*baked apples with cinnamon
*chocolate flakes

HEALTH BENEFITS OF PORRIDGE
Making your own porridge takes only a few minutes long and it is considered as a healthy breakfast choice.

Porridge is rich in fibre, protein and carbohydrates.

Oats are a great source of vitamin B, zinc, iron and magnesium.
