Best + healthiest Oatmeal for breakfast (Porridge)
What's the difference between Oatmeal and Porridge? Porridge is a type of hot breakfast that can be made from a variety of grains, vegetables and even some legumes. In some countries, Pourridge is made from flour and sorghum with other grains ground inside, like corn or barley.
​
Our Silver and Gold "Oatmeal for Breakfast" recipe is made using gluten-free quick oats and cooked with some fruits and spices to make for a healthy breakfast... or an evening guilt-free snack that will satisfy. Serve alongside plain low-fat yogourt or with a bit of milk – in this case almond milk is a great choice.

Ingredients
-
2 Cups of quick-cook oatmeal
-
1 Cup water
-
1 Cup milk (we prefer unsweetened almond milk)
-
1 apple or pear, peeled and chopped
-
1 Tbsp. cinnamon powder
-
1 T. vanilla extract
-
pinch of salt
-
1/4 Cup hemp seeds (optional, but they are best used as they're extremely healthy for breakfast!)
-
1/4 Cup natural maple syrup (organic is best)
-
1-1/2 Cup frozen cranberries or currants
Here's how to make it:
In a medium size pot, combine the oatmeal with water and milk, cinnamon and apple/pear, vanilla extract and pinch of salt.
​
Bring to a gentle boil and simmer on very low, mixing to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot.
​
Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes and then remove from heat, add hemp seeds and fruit, maple syrup for sweetness. Mix to combine and cover for 2 minutes until the cranberrries have defrosted.
​
Serve immediately with a dollop of natural unsweetened yoghourt or a bit more milk... or enjoy as is! If preferred, dress overtop with a few chopped nuts such as almonds or pecans.
