An easy super food almond oats porridge recipe that is great for breakfast esp when topped with pomegranate seeds or other fruit. It is also a guide on how to make porridge.
I have been feeling a little bit under the weather recently. Lots and lots to do in a limited amount of time.
Being laid up was actually rather nice. The sort of laid up that involved lots of cuppas and butternut squash soup from OH and hugs and well designed (talent passed down from their creative aunts) cards from the kiddoes.
Plus a whooooooooooole lot of time immersed in the Good Wife. Short note to Josh Charles – I love you. You go well with tea and recharge time. Thank you. Just don’t tell OH.

23/02/2015 at 10:47 amFirstly, I’m sorry to hear you’ve been feeling poorly! I hope you thoroughly recharged your batteries and are feeling much better now 🙂
Secondly I LOVE almond milk…so why have I never made my porridge with it before?! I’m an instant convert 😛 it’s funny how sometimes you just need a nudge. Thanks!

23/02/2015 at 4:01 pmSorry to hear you’ve not been feeling great, I hope you feel better now. Believe it or not I have only in the last year started to eat porridge ( was a nurse a long time ago, and feeding ill people porridge put me off it for a very long time) and I am so glad I enjoy it now, such a great slow energy releasing breakfast, your version sounds very tasty.
Bintu says
23/02/2015 at 5:14 pmThanks. I like porridge so thinking of lots of ways to keep me interested.

23/02/2015 at 7:40 pmSounds absolutely delicious AND healthy, Bintu! Ironically I was thinking of this question just last night and wha-laa here is a post to ask it. I’ve been seeing articles about soaking oats ahead of time??? Do you know anything about that or have any thoughts on it? Have a great day 🙂
Camilla says
23/02/2015 at 8:56 pmI have to admit on only ever make porridge occassionally and at the weekend but my daughter and I do love it so will try to remember to make your version next time as we have lots of almonds!

Janice says
24/02/2015 at 8:26 pmThat looks good, Bintu. We always have muesli during the week and porridge on Saturday, it’s such a good start to the day.

25/02/2015 at 1:48 pmSorry to hear you’ve not been well Bintu. But a bit of relaxation and pampering sounds good. Never thought to use almonds for porridge, what a fab idea.

26/02/2015 at 6:54 pmOh yum! I need to add that porridge to my Sunday morning routine. Hope you’re feeling much better now:)
Also, {Spoiler Alert!!!!!} I wouldn’t get too attached to Josh Whatisname on The Good Wife if I were you!

Ron says
17/02/2019 at 1:50 pmI’ve used a similar recipe for a year or two. I mix porridge oats, oatmeal, ground almonds and almond milk in the pan and stir until creamy. I top with a handful of blueberries.
As an alternative to ground almonds I occasionally use ground hazelnuts.
