Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup any plant milk
- 2 cups water
- 1 apple, grated
- 2 tsp chai spices*
- 1 tsp of almond butter (optional)
Stewed apple:
- 1 apple, cored and chopped into 2cm cubes
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tsp chai spices*
- ½ lemon, juiced
Directions
- To make the porridge, add the oats, milk, water, grated apple and spices to a medium pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil while stirring occasionally. Reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes or until the porridge reaches your desired consistency. Add more water/milk for a thinner porridge.
- To stew the apples, add the apple, spices and 1 tablespoon water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir, place the lid on the pot and cook until the apples have softened, stirring regularly. Add lemon juice and stir.
- Divide the hot porridge into 2 bowls. Top with the stewed apple and almond butter (optional).
* Combine 3 tablespoons cinnamon, 1 tablespoon cardamom, 1 tablespoon ginger, 1 teaspoon nutmeg and 1 teaspoon turmeric. Stir well to blend, then use 1 tsp of this mixture in the recipe.
Chef's Tips
- You can also add the fruit or toppings to the blender at step 2 (or 2 tablespoons cocoa) to create different nice cream flavours such as strawberry, peanut or chocolate.
- This tastes just as good as regular ice cream but is super healthy; I love it!
- Best eaten immediately as sadly it does not freeze well once blended.
- This is delicious served on wholemeal pancakes for breakfast!
