Ingredients
- Water
- 2 cups
- Oats
- 1 cup, rolled or quick oats
- Dried apricots
- 1 cup, chopped
- Honey
- 2 tablespoons
- Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons
- All-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup
- Brown sugar
- 1/4 cup
- Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
- 1/2 cup
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, add 1 cup of oats and 1 cup of chopped dried apricots to the water. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are creamy and the apricots are soft.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, mixing well to combine all the flavors.
- In a separate small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted, add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Stir continuously until the mixture resembles a crumbly texture.
- Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts to the crumble mixture, stirring to distribute evenly.
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture generously over the cooked oatmeal and apricots.
- Cover the saucepan with a lid and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the crumble to slightly soften, creating a delightful texture.
- Serve the apricot crumble porridge warm, topped with additional honey or a dollop of yogurt if desired, and enjoy!
Tips
- For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup and use coconut oil instead of butter.
- Feel free to mix in other dried fruits like raisins or cranberries for added flavor.
- Top with fresh fruit or a sprinkle of seeds for extra nutrition.
