This apple-cinnamon porridge is delicious, sweet and the perfect meal to start your morning.
Spring has sprung in Melbourne, but the mornings are still pretty chilly which gives me a great excuse to hang onto some warm and cosy porridge before smoothie bowls will replace them. Well, actually that’s not entirely true… This porridge is really delicious cold and I’ll definitely continue eating it well into summer.
As discussed in probably so many of my previous posts, cinnamon is my favourite spice and it is once again a critical ingredient to make this breakfast as delicious as it is. I mean, who doesn’t love the combination of apple and cinnamon?!
The porridge itself is really simple using rolled oats, chia seeds, sultanas and some plant-based milk. The whole dish is super easy and made in under 15 minutes and can also be made in advance, put into the fridge overnight and then enjoyed the next morning. To be honest, I sometimes even prefer it this way. The flavours develop very overnight.
