Best Healthy Porridge Recipes

I don't know about you, but i am absolutely OBSESSED with porridge! I love how its easy to make, healthy and yet still super tasty. So I thought I would share two of my own porridge recipes that I have created from trying so many of other people's porridge recipes over the last few months.

Banana and Peanut Butter Porridge

Ingredients:

40g of rolled oats

250ml of unsweetened almond milk

1 banana (cut into bitesize chunks)

1 Tbsp of nut butter (I mostly use peanut butter because I love it!)

1 Tbsp of honey

1 Tsp of chia seeds (optional)

Directions:

1. Place the oats, almond milk, half of the banana, nut butter and chia seeds into a small-medium sized sauce pan. Set the heat on high.

2. Bring the mixture to boil, making sure you are stirring regularly.

3. Turn the heat down to low and let the porridge simmer.

4. Mix constantly for another 2/3 minutes. Until the liquid starts to reduce, and when you mix it you can see the base of the pan (as shown in the image) take it off the heat.

5. Pour the porridge into a bowl.

6. Drizzle the honey and scatter the remaining banana on top.

Cinnamon and Pear/Apple Porridge

Ingredients:

40g of rolled oats

250ml of unsweetened almond milk

1 apple or pear (stalk removed and cut into bite size pieces) 

1/2 Tsp of cinnamon
1 Tsp of chia seeds (optional)
A handful of raisin
1 Tbsp of greek yogurt
1 Tbsp of honey

Directions:
1. Place the oats, almond milk, apple/pear, cinnamon and chia seeds into a small-medium sized sauce pan.  Set the heat on high.

2. Bring the mixture to boil, making sure you are stirring regularly.

3. Turn the heat down to low and let the porridge simmer.

4. When the liquid starts to reduce, and when you mix it you can see the base of the pan (as shown in the image) take it off the heat.

5. Pour the porridge into a bowl.

6. Scatter the raisins on top and drizzle the honey. Then dollop the greek yogurt into the bowl.

I can guarantee you that both of these porridges taste amazing! And if you do not like any of the ingredients they can easily be removed or changed with a different alternative. Also I tend to drink a green tea whilst I eat my porridge and they go quite well together! Plus green tea has some great health benefits!

Please tell me if you tried the recipes out, or need any advice.

Thanks,
