This porridge is definitely one of my favourite breakfasts of all time. Pretty big statement, I know. But once you taste it, you'll see where I'm coming from! It is just so ridiculously creamy and sweet, it warms your whole body up like a big cuddle with every mouthful!
Creamy Coconut Porridge with Cinnamon Stewed Apple
Serves 1
Ingredients
½ cup rolled oats
2 or 3 tablespoons coconut milk
1 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 green or red apple (I prefer green, but whatever floats your boat!)
2 teaspoons coconut oil or butter
1 teaspoon brown/coconut sugar (optional)
1 teaspoon pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
1 teaspoon sultanas/raisins/1 date chopped up
A couple of walnuts broken into pieces
Peel and cut your apple into bite size pieces. Put to one side.
Place your oats, coconut milk, and boiling water in a pot, stirring often to ensure a beautiful, creamy consistently.
In between stirs, place your apple pieces into a frying pan with the coconut oil/butter, cinnamon and coconut/brown sugar (if using) and stir everything around until the apples are evenly coated, caramelised and soft.
Continue stirring the oats until you have your desired consistency. I like mine creamy, but not gloopy! It should have some texture, but not cooked until it’s stodgy. (Unless that’s how you like it! No judgements here.)
Pour the oats into a bowl and top with apples. Sprinkle with sultanas, walnut pieces and pepitas and enjoy!
