Apple and cinnamon porridge
Porridge is always a great way to start the day, whether you’re a baby, child or adult. My apple and cinnamon porridge is packed full of flavour. Suitable for vegans.
Ingredients
- 1 large apple peeled, cored and chopped
- 75 g porridge oats oat flakes
- 50 g sultanas omit for a young baby
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 500 ml milk I used Koko dairy free milk
To top
- Pecans or other chopped nuts or seeds
- Poppy seeds
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Place your chopped apple into a medium-sized saucepan. If you want your apple to be extra soft (for example if feeding to a young baby) add a splash of water and cook with the lid on for 5 minutes until starting to soften.
- Add 75g porridge oats, 50g sultanas (if using) and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the pan. Stir.
- Pour over 500ml milk. Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally, then reduce the heat and cover with a lid. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring often until the apple is soft and the porridge is creamy.
- If you want your apple to break down completely you can mash it gently with the back of a wooden spoon or a fork before serving.
- Allow to cool a little if serving to a baby or child.
- Serve with extra toppings such as chopped nuts or seeds and some maple syrup if wanted.
