A Healthy Breakfast

| November 6, 2013

As a family we do love our organic oats. I make Healthy Flapjacks with oats to take out as a snack and every morning Daddy makes three large bowls of porridge. You wouldn’t be wrong for mistakenly thinking we are the three bears in Goldilocks.

I thought we’d stop eating porridge during the summer months but we just kept going! I like my summer porridge breakfast with a topping of grated apple and cinnamon or with a handful of summer berries (which turn the porridge a delightful red colour).

And in winter a good bowl of porridge with raisins keeps us going throughout the morning.

Porridge is so easy to make. Gently heat some milk in a pan, add the oats and some water, sprinkle in some raisins and gently keep stirring as the oats soak up the liquid and the raisins soften. A delicious and healthy breakfast!
