Dark mornings call for cosy breakfasts, and this twist on a comforting bowl of porridge perfectly captures a balanced approach to nourishment and pleasure.

Oats are loved for their creamy texture, nostalgic comfort, natural sweetness, and the endless creativity of choosing toppings. However, when prepared in their traditional form, they can set the stage for an unsteady blood sugar curve throughout the day.

This version reworks the classic by using a few clever culinary adjustments, maintaining all the warmth and satisfaction of the original while introducing ingredients that support sustained energy and optimal nutrition.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup frozen berries or 1 small eating apple
• 1.5 tablespoons of jumbo oats
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 3/4 cup milk of choice
• 1 tablespoon freshly ground flaxseed or whole chia seeds
• 35g bone broth powder (I get mine from Planet Paleo or you can use your protein powder of choice)
• 1 heaped tablespoon coconut flour
• 1 heaped tablespoon nut butter of choice or tahini

Preparation

01
Add berries/chopped & cored apple to a small pan with 2 tablespoons of water & a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Cover with a lid & leave to simmer gently for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally & then mash with a wooden spoon.

02
Add the rest of the ingredients except the coconut flour & nut butter to another pan. Gently bring to a simmer & whisk together until smooth.

03
Once gently bubbling let it cook for about 5 minutes, then mix in the coconut flour. This will thicken it up to a porridge texture. Cook for 1 minute then decant to a bowl, top with your now lovely, cooked fruit & chosen tahini/nut butter.
