I get it, porridge isn't everyone's cup of tea

​

But I suppose it depends on how you make it and how creative you are. 

​

Porridge on its own is bland and looks boring

​

But what about if we sexy it up a bit? 

​

I'm going to give you the ingredients to my super tasty meal in a bowl

​

I call it a meal in a bowl because it will keep you full for hours

​

Heres what you need:

​

- gluten free oats (normal are ok, I find GF creamier) 

- 1 tsp ground flaxseeds 

- 1 tsp milled chia seeds

- Whole milk

- Full fat thick or double cream

- Chopped banana

- Strawberries halved

- Blueberries

- Raspberries

- Cinnamon 

​

Heres what you need to do (I don't really measure what i'm putting in the pan so just go with it)

​

- pour your oats in a pan

- pour whole milk over the oats until they are covered

- add your chia and flax

- add 1 dollop of full fat cream or a quick glug of double cream and stir

- heat to the boil and then lower heat back down

- keep stirring until porridge is a nice consistency, don't let it over boil and go like wall paper paste, you're looking for a thick but still loose consistency

- pour into a bowl, add your chopped banana, berries and a pinch of cinnamon (you can also add crushed walnuts or pecans). You are good to go

- Enjoy
