Brown sugar porridge

Serves:

Ingredients

• 1 tsp roughly chopped walnuts (about 1-2 walnut halves)
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup low fat milk
• 1/2 – 3/4 cup water
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup pie apples
• 1 ½ tsp brown sugar

Method

Place walnuts into a small frypan and cook over a low heat until brown and fragrant. (Keep an eye on them as nuts burn very quickly. If you think you’ll eat this more often, toast a batch of nuts and keep them in an airtight container).

Place oats, milk, ½ cup water and vanilla extract into a small saucepan and cook over a medium-low heat for 5-6 minutes. Add more water if porridge gets too dry. I like my porridge creamy and loose and so I use a little more water.

While porridge is cooking, heat apples and keep warm. Once porridge is cooked, pour into a bowl and top with apples, brown sugar and toasted nuts.
