Servings: 2 people

Equipment

  • saucepan
  • wooden spoon

Ingredients

Porridge

  • ¾ cup jumbo oats
  • 1½ cups liquid (I use half milk, half water)
  • 2 tsp cacao powder (or unsweetened cocoa powder)

Toppings

  • a handful blueberries & raspberries (can use fresh or frozen)
  • 2 medjool dates, finely chopped
  • a handful almonds, roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Combine the oats, liquid and cacao powder in a saucepan and put over a low-medium heat.
  • Let the oats come to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  • Once simmering, turn the heat to low and stir continuously until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Divide the porridge between two bowls and add the toppings.

Notes

Cooking the porridge over a low heat and continuously stirring creates a lovely, creamy texture. For a thicker porridge cook slightly longer.
