Breakfast is a super important meal of the day. After a whole night with no food, you need a hearty, healthy meal to get your day off to a good start. Porridge is a great choice, as oats are light yet filling and super healthy. This dish is also great, as you can have whatever ingredients you want with it and change it up each day. Here are a few ideas for porridge that are deliciously comforting and very healthy.
Apple and Walnut
This works best on a stovetop where you can cook the apple with the porridge. Slice an apple into small pieces and place in a non-stick pan with oats and milk or water. Add small amounts of cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer and stir constantly until your desired consistency is reached. Stir through some walnut pieces and serve.
Peanut Butter and Grapes
Peanut butter is a great addition to porridge, as it adds so much flavor and also protein and healthy fat. This creamy nut butter pairs perfectly with fresh grapes, so once you’ve cooked your porridge as usual simply stir through some peanut butter and top with halved grapes.
Banana, Date, and Pumpkin Seed
Bananas and dates are incredible additions to porridge as they transform the simple dish into an indulgent, dessert-like meal while also adding loads of healthy vitamins. Including pumpkin seeds brings a lovely deep flavor, delicious crunchy texture, and healthy fat and protein.
