Winters Coming- Apple and Date Porridge
I awoke this morning to a grey and cold 7 degrees Melbourne. To help warm myself up I grabbed my bf ugg boots and decided it was time to make some porridge. Over the Easter weekend we visited a cute little cafe called 'Sticks and Grace'. The menu was so impressive that we opted to share two dishes as we couldnt possibly decide on just one each. One of the dishes was bircher museli with apples, dates and cinammon...hence this mornings inspiration.
I opened the cupboard and was sad to find no rolled oats available. However I did find a naughty alternative 'Be Natural's Vanilla and Almond' porridge and thought that will do.
1. I grabbed a small saucepan and poured the contents in ( I would use one sachet per person).
2. Poured in 1/2 cup of milk
3. chopped up 5 dates and a 1/4 of a Granny Smith apple
4. Sprinkled some cinammon and sugar to serve.
5. Eat and enjoy with a cuppa.
Delicious, that is sure to warm you up and lift your spirits on a rainy day. Enjoy! P.s I just love this square glass bowl they have used, I must get one!

Mmm yummo!
ReplyDeleteI love making my own bircher muesli with Jalna yoghurt and loading it with all things amazing, but it's just not the same in Winter when all you want is something warming. I've been doing the old oats with honey and cinnamon for a while, but THIS looks deliciously indulgent - I'll be giving it a go, I reckon!
