Vanilla porridge with honey and cinnamon apple
Sometimes I have my daily porridge as a pudding after lunch. On these occasions I create a quick fruit puree or compote to make a lovely and healthy dessert. This vanilla porridge with honey and cinnamon apples is really yummy – I made it with Alpro vanilla yogurt and oat milk so it’s vegan, but you can use normal yogurt and milk for a non-vegan version.
Ingredients
Method
- Put the porridge oats in a saucepan and mix in the cinnamon. Add the milk, then turn on the heat.
- Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Add a little more milk, if needed. Turn off the heat, give it a stir, then put a lid on and rest for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel & core the apples, then cut them into chunky slices.
- Put them in a non-stick pan, add the honey and cinnamon. Caramelize them for about 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. They should be tender, not too soft. Stir in the nuts, coat them with the honey, then turn off the heat.
- Spoon the porridge into two bowls, then mix in some vanilla yogurt. Top with the glazed apple & nuts. Drizzle over the syrup from the pan and more honey to your liking.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
