Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1 large apple, peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch of fine salt
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups dairy or nut milk (depending on how thick you like your porridge)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions:
- Combine the ingredients: In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, whisk together the oats, chopped apple, chia seeds, cinnamon, ginger, salt, milk, and maple syrup until combined.
- Cook the porridge: Continue cooking the mixture over medium heat for about 9 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. You’ll know it’s ready when the mixture thickens and the oats are soft.
