Sticky Apple + Date Porridge
Ingredients
- 40g oats
- 135ml milk of your choice
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 apple, diced
- 2–3 dates, chopped
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 30g walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 tsp honey, optional
Instructions:
Add the oats and milk to a small saucepan. Cook over a low-to-medium heat for 4–5 minutes, stirring regularly, until thick and creamy. Add a little more milk or water if needed.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the apple and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften.
Add the dates, cinnamon, walnuts and honey, if using. Cook for a further 2–3 minutes, stirring regularly, until the apple is tender and the mixture is warm and sticky.
Spoon the porridge into a bowl and top with the sticky apple and date mixture.
Note: You can leave the skin on the apple or peel it before cooking.
