Spiced Porridge
This spiced porridge recipe is even more warming and comforting than a bowl of traditional porridge. The rich flavour is delicious, and you'll also be getting lots of health benefits from the spices. Spiced porridge takes just 10 minutes to make, you could even shave 2 minutes off that by measuring out the ingredients the night before!
Ingredients
- 100 g porridge oats GF if required
- 240 ml milk skimmed or whole milk
- 240 ml water
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- Add the oats, milk, water and spices to a pan. Bring up to the boil, stirring occasionally.
- Simmer for 4-5 minutes until thickened. Stir occasionally.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- You can adjust the proportion of milk to water to suit your taste.
- For a slightly thinner porridge, add a little extra milk (or water).
- If you make this recipe frequently, you might find it useful to have a volume measurement rather than weighing the ingredients. It's super easy: for 2 portions, use one cup of oats, one cup of milk, and one cup of water.
- To maximise the health benefits from the spices in the porridge, add a tiny pinch of ground black pepper which will help you to absorb more of the active ingredients.
