Apple Currant Porridge
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup steel-cut oats, or rolled for faster cook
- 2 cup water
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 4 Tbsp flaxseed, ground
- 0.25 cup currants, or raisins
- 2 cup apple, sliced
- 4 Tbsp walnuts, or sunflower seeds for nut-free
- 0.5 cup non-dairy milk, optional
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup, optional
Instructions
- Cook the oats by putting them in a pot with the water, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then turn down to simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep from sticking to the bottom of the pot. You could also do this in a rice cooker or pressure cooker, following the appliance directions.
- While that cooks, quarter, core and chop the apple.
- Stir the currants and chopped apple into the porridge, and serve topped with flaxseeds, walnuts, milk and maple syrup.
Notes
If you hold a few slices of apple from being stirred in, they make a lovely decorative topping.
