APPLE PIE PORRAIDGE WITH MAPLE SYRUP
Porridge really comes into its own in Autumn, it’s warming, filling, cheap and doesn’t have to be boring!
I created this recipe when I was working with a maple syrup brand, and it’s become a real favourite- it’s a great way to sneak a little bit of fruit into the kids breakfast, the flavours are great for children and adults alike, and it’s also a great breakfast to make for house-guests that isn’t too labour intensive but looks and tastes delicious!
I have specified jumbo porridge oats as I have recently realised that I much prefer porridge is it is made with them- I use the cheap value oats for baked oats, cookies etc, but the jumbo ones give such a good texture to porridge it’s worth getting some!
