Ingredients
- Oats: I recommend Rolled Oats for a hearty Porridge. *If you eat gluten free, try these gluten free Oats
- Milk: I used Almond milk, but oat milk, coconut milk, skimmed milk can be used as a healthy alternative.
- Orange Juice: Orange Juice gives the softened Plums the perfect sweetness and acidity
- Cinnamon: For a warming spiced flavour
- Dried Fruits: The dried fruits add an extra layer of sweetness to the porridge.
- Nuts: Adds an earthy flavour, obviously if you have a nut allergy these can be excluded from the recipe.
The Basic Steps
- Add the Oats and Milk to a pan and cook over a low-medium heat
- In a separate pan, add the Cinnamon, Plums and Orange juice, heat until softened
- Combine the cooked Oats, Plums, Dried Fruits and Nuts in a bowl and serve.
