Porridge with apples and berries

This recipe combines the natural sweetness of jazz apples and berries with the rich flavor of maple syrup, all nestled in a creamy bowl of oats.

Ingredients:

2 cups oats
180g
3 cups milk (1% fat)
720g
2 cups water
500g
2 apples
320g
1/2 cup raspberries
72g
1/3 cup maple syrup
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- If they're not already, core the apples and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Rinse the raspberries under cold water and set them aside to dry.
2. Cook the Porridge:
- In a large pot, add the 2 cups of oats, 3 cups of milk, and 2 cups of water.
- Stir well to combine and ensure the oats are well dispersed in the liquid.
- Place the pot over medium heat.
3. Simmer the Porridge:
- Continually stir the mixture as it begins to heat. This helps to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pot and ensures an even consistency.
- When the mixture starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low.
- Allow the porridge to cook gently for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The porridge should become thick and creamy.
4. Add the Apples:
- About halfway through the cooking time (around 5-8 minutes in), add the chopped apples to the pot.
- Stir the apples into the porridge, allowing them to cook until soft.
5. Sweeten the Porridge:
- Once the porridge has reached your desired consistency and the apples are tender, add the 1/3 cup of maple syrup.
- Stir well to incorporate the syrup throughout the porridge.
6. Serve:
- Scoop the porridge into serving bowls.
- Top each bowl with a generous handful of fresh raspberries for a burst of color and fresh flavour.
7. Optional Garnishes:
- You may want to drizzle a little extra maple syrup on top of each serving, or sprinkle with some additional fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds for added texture and taste.

Tips:

- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture. Quick oats or instant oats may become too mushy.

- Feel free to use any type of milk you prefer, whether it's dairy or non-dairy alternatives like almond, soy, or oat milk.

- For a thicker porridge, reduce the water by half a cup.

- To prevent the apples from browning, you can toss them in a little lemon juice after cutting.

- Add a pinch of salt to the oats before cooking to enhance the overall flavors.

- If you prefer a sweeter porridge, you can add extra maple syrup to suit your taste.

- Top with additional fresh berries or nuts for added texture and flavor.

This Porridge with jazz apples, berries & maple-flavoured syrup is not only a comforting and delightful breakfast but also a quick and easy meal to prepare. Whether you're feeding the family or just treating yourself, this recipe is sure to become a morning favorite. Enjoy it warm and feel nourished and ready to take on the day!
