I like to do hearty breakfastsespecially salty based on toast, eggs and avocados, but if one day I choose to have a breakfast sweet I like to resort to fruit and cereals and that is why I have become so fond of this recipe. For me it is essential to avoid options full of sugar since, in addition to being unhealthy, they are not appetizing, and of course they must be simple and quick to prepare since time is usually limited.
East oatmeal porridge or porridge with apple and cinnamon it’s a satiating breakfast, delicious, easy and quick to prepare, and best of all is that we can leave it to our liking. The base consists of cooking the oats in a liquid, generally milk or a vegetable drink, although water can also be used, then it can be mixed with countless ingredients to add flavors or aromas and finally other ingredients are added in pieces, for example fruit. , to make it more complete and rich.
As to combinationsI have always liked apples with cinnamon and walnuts, so this time I have used some ragweed apples because it’s crunchy (very crunchy!) and sweet, two characteristics that I love to have together in apples. I have also added some raisins that help sweeten the porridge and they go great with the rest of the ingredients.
