Cinnamon Spiced Porridge , Warming Winter Breakfast

Method

Combine the oats, milk, water, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium heat.

Stir in the Ceylon Cinnamon and cook, stirring frequently, for 5-6 minutes until the porridge is thick and creamy.

If the porridge becomes too thick, add a splash more milk to reach your preferred consistency.

Divide between two bowls. Top with sliced banana, a drizzle of honey, and a spoonful of almond butter.

Finish with an extra dusting of Ceylon Cinnamon over the top for presentation and an extra hit of flavour.

Tips

• Ceylon cinnamon dissolves more readily than cassia and has a sweeter, more delicate profile that works perfectly in gentle breakfast dishes.
• For overnight oats, combine all ingredients cold in a jar the night before and refrigerate. The cinnamon flavour deepens beautifully overnight.
• Swap the banana for stewed apple, poached pear, or seasonal berries depending on the time of year.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy as a standalone breakfast or pair with a strong coffee or cardamom chai. For extra protein, stir in a scoop of protein powder or top with Greek yoghurt and a scattering of seeds.
