As the cooler months set in, there’s no better way to start your morning than with a warm and comforting bowl of Apple Cinnamon Porridge. This simple yet nutritious recipe blends rolled oats, fresh apples, chia seeds, and warming spices like cinnamon and ginger. Gently cooked in your choice of milk and naturally sweetened with maple syrup, this porridge makes for a hearty breakfast that’s both delicious and healthy. Top it off with sliced apples, cranberries, and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon for a breakfast that will warm you from the inside out.

Warm Apple Cinnamon Porridge Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup rolled oats
• 1 large apple, peeled and chopped
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger
• Pinch of salt
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or nut-based)
• 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Porridge Base
   In a medium-sized saucepan, combine 1/3 cup rolled oats, 1 large chopped apple, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and a pinch of salt. Pour in 1 to 1 1/2 cups of your choice of milk (depending on how creamy you like your porridge) and add 1 1/2 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.

2. Cook the Porridge
   Set the saucepan over medium heat, stirring the mixture to combine all the ingredients. Cook for about 9-15 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking. The porridge is ready when it thickens and the oats become soft.

3. Serve and Enjoy
   Once cooked, spoon the porridge into bowls and top with your favorite toppings. I love adding extra apple slices, dried cranberries, and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon for a cozy, flavorful touch.

This warm apple cinnamon porridge is a fantastic way to start your day with a mix of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. It’s not only filling but also packed with the natural sweetness of apples and the earthy spice of cinnamon and ginger, making it a delicious and nourishing breakfast.
