Porridge for Everyone’s Taste

Dale is Getting his Oats
But not in the traditional way!!!

Heinzie has started making porridge for his breakfast instead of the usual toast etc and while we were staying there he made this special porridge for Dale

We are including Extra Virgin Coconut Oil in Dale’s diet and this is a wonderful way to incorporate it and make your porridge taste amazing
You can use any dried fruit and some fresh fruit of you wish but here is a basic recipe
What an excellent way to start the day

For one person
1/2 cup Traditional Wholegrain Oats
1 1/4 cups cold water
Pinch salt

Handful raisins
Handful dried prunes
2 teaspoons extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Maple syrup

Optional milk or cream

Microwave
Put oats, water and salt into a suitable Microwave Dish
Microwave on High for 3 minutes

Remove, stir and add fruit
Push fruit down into oats

Back into Microwave and continue to cook on Medium
Till thickened (3-5 minutes)

Remove and add Coconut Oil
Stir and drizzle Maple Syrup over the top
If you would like to add milk or cream to taste this to the time to do that.

Delicious
