More Winter Comfort Food this week with a scrumptious Baked Apple Pie Porridge recipe which is dairy-free and vegan-friendly. This is another meal which is super easy to make and can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch or even as a healthy late evening dessert.
You'll always find at least one huge jar of jumbo oats in my kitchen cupboards as I just love how versatile and filling they are. The classic is, of course, to use them every day for a humble bowl of porridge, and this Baked Apple Pie Porridge recipe takes it up to the next level in terms of creating something which is indulgent, comforting and perfect for a cold Winter's day.
If you haven't tried baking porridge before, you're in for a treat! Just make sure to add more liquid than you think is necessary because a lot gets gloriously soaked up into the oats during the baking process, so don't worry if it looks like too much at the start.
Ingredients (serves 3-4 depending on appetite!):-
- 250g Jumbo Oats
- 475ml Almond Milk
- 2 Apples
- 4-5 Medjool Dates
- 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 1 tbsp Maple or Agave Syrup
- Pinch of Sea Salt
- Coconut Oil, for greasing
- Optional extra toppings: Cacao Nibs, Nut Butter, Ice Cream, Custard etc
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas Mark 5. Lightly grease a round baking dish with a little Coconut Oil and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the Jumbo Oats, Almond Milk, Ground Cinnamon and Nutmeg, giving everything a good stir and allow the mixture to soak for about 10 minutes.
- Roughly chop up the Dates and Apples into small pieces (you can keep the skin on the apples or peel them), removing the cores and pits. Add to the soaked mixture, and then add in the Maple Syrup and pinch of Salt.
- Give everything a final stir and carefully pour into the greased baking dish. Pop in the oven for around 15-20 minutes, until most of the liquid has been absorbed and it's golden on top.
- Serve immediately and optionally top with Cacao Nibs and Nut Butter to keep it healthy, or with Custard or a scoop of Ice Cream for an indulgent dessert - enjoy!
