Serves 4

Ingredients

Pine nuts
1/4 cup
Rolled oats
1 cup
Milk (or plant-based milk)
4 cups
Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
2 tablespoons
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Cinnamon (optional for added warmth)
1/2 teaspoon
Fresh fruit (for topping, optional)
1 cup, diced

Instructions

  1. Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Be careful not to burn them. Set aside.
  2. In the same pan, add the rolled oats and toast for another 2 minutes until they are lightly golden.
  3. Pour in the milk and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.
  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, add honey, salt, and cinnamon (if using), and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the oats are soft and the porridge is creamy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat, then fold in the toasted pine nuts. Adjust the sweetness with more honey if desired.
  6. Serve warm, topped with fresh fruit for a burst of flavor and added nutrition.

Tips

  • 💡 For a creamier texture, substitute half of the milk with cream or a non-dairy alternative like coconut milk.
  • 💡 Feel free to customize your porridge by adding nuts, seeds, or dried fruits for extra texture and flavor.
  • 💡 If you enjoy a spicier flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of vanilla extract.
