Ingredients

Serves 10

  • 1/4 cup (59ml) oats (not instant)
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) water
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) blueberries
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) strawberries
  • 1/4 apple
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) almond butter 
  • 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) cinnamon 
  • pinch of salt

Optional:
You could swap out the blueberries and/or strawberries for bananas or another fruit of your choice. Please note that any changes to the recipe may alter the stated nutritional values.

Method

  1. Add the water and oats to a pan and boil until the oats reach a thick consistency (5 min).
  2. While the oats are cooking, cut the apple into bite sized pieces, then do the same with the strawberries.
  3. After the oats have absorbed most of the water, crack the egg into the pan and add a pinch of salt. Make sure you constantly stir your oats once the egg has been added - allowing it to sit will turn it into scrambled egg.
  4. Once the egg is fully incorporated, pour the cooked porridge into a bowl.
  5. Add the apple bites, strawberries, and blueberries, and top with almond butter and a dusting of cinnamon to your preference.
