Servings: 4

Ingredients

Water (2 cups)
Rolled oats (1 cup)
Dried apricots (1/2 cup, chopped)
Honey (2 tablespoons)
Cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
Butter (2 tablespoons, melted)
Brown sugar (1/4 cup)
Oat flour (1/2 cup)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, stir in the rolled oats, chopped dried apricots, honey, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are cooked and the porridge has thickened to your desired consistency.
While the porridge cooks, prepare the crisp topping. In a small bowl, combine the oat flour, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly and set aside.
Once the porridge is cooked, remove it from the heat and spoon it into serving bowls.
Generously sprinkle the crisp topping over the porridge.
Preheat your broiler on high. Place the saucepan (or individual bowls) under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching closely, until the topping is golden and crispy.
Serve the Apricot Crisp Porridge warm, drizzled with additional honey or topped with a dollop of yogurt if desired.
