Perfect Porridge
Summary
Over several years, oatmeal has consistently been recommended for breakfast. It will reduce your waistline while giving you energy for a full morning. This porridge evolved as more scientific nutrional information was published. For example, maple syrup replaces brown sugar that was in the original version. Also, apparently the cinnamon brings out beneficial nutrients in the oatmeal. Buckwheat, chia and hemp are recent additions.
Modify to suit your taste.

Prepare Fruit
Slice, chop,dice or blend and add to stock pot:
- 2 apples
- 1 pear
- 2 bananas
Add Fluids
Add to stock pot and mix:
- 1 litre milk
Mix together and add to stock pot and stir:
- 500 ml boiling water (to well disperse the maple syrup)
- 4 tblsp maple syrup (if you use honey a larger quantity may be required)
- 1 tblsp olive oil or melted butter
Cook
Put the pot on very low heat and cook about 20 minutes. Stir frequently until it pops steam bubbles and reaches desired consistency. If you don’t stir it will stick to the pot and burn on the bottom. Don't say you weren't warned!
To stir you can use a traditional spurtle or maybe just a big kitchen spoon. Taste as you go and sweeten to taste, the apples make it a bit tart.
Scoop porridge into microwave containers. Freeze or refrigerate. Porridge will keep forever.
Serve
Thaw servings in the fridge overnight. Add 4-5 tblsp of frozen blueberries on top. Zap in the microwave for around 2 minutes, depending on your machine.
