My Favourite Healthy Breakfast Porridge
This is my fave healthy breakfast, I've had it almost every day for the last few years and somehow still think it's delicious, amazing and brilliant every day and don't get tired of it. It might be because it tastes like pudding for breakfast, has one of my 5-a-day and has energy from slow release oats that keeps me fuller for longer, whatever it is I don't care, it's yummy!
Equipment
- Microwave
Ingredients
- 30 g Porridge oats I love the oats with oatbran and wheatbran best as they taste slightly nutty (from Sainsbury's in the UK), but any porridge oats are good
- 0.25 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 80 g Cherries Frozen, whole cherries
- 100 ml Skimmed milk Or oat milk is even more delicious, though more expensive
Instructions
- The night before: add the oats, then ground cinnamon, then still-frozen cherries into a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a plate and leave overnight.
- Add 100ml milk to the bowl and microwave for 2 minutes on high (at 850W, adjust for your own microwave). Stir and enjoy.
Notes
I honestly have eaten this for breakfast over 70% of the time for the last 3 years: it's that good, plus of course it's one of my 5-a-day in breakfast.
To make it vegan take the oat milk option instead of cow's milk, it's even more tasty (though more expensive).
