Spiced Porridge with Blackberries, Fig, Pecan & Almond Milk
Ingredients:
- 40g rolled oats
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 250ml almond milk/any milk of choice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tbsp maple syrup, agave, unrefined coconut sugar or manuka honey
Method:
- Put the oats in a small saucepan and dry-toast on a low heat until they’re slightly golden and smell like baking biscuits. Mix 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp each of nutmeg, allspice and ginger with the oats whilst dry-toasting (this really enhances the flavour).
- Add the salt, milk, vanilla and sweetener of choice, turn the heat to medium-high and let the porridge come to a rolling boil.
- Once it has come to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and start stirring. Some people prefer to stir it every once in a while but I like to stir pretty regularly – it seems to make for a creamier end result.
- Pour the porridge into a bowl to cool for a couple of minutes whilst you prepare your toppings.
- After cooking top with a fresh fig, blackberries, a sprinkling of pecans and a splash of cold almond milk.
Ingredients:
- 50g Porridge Oats
- 1 tablespoon Rowse Clear Honey
- Dried cranberries

Stir some dried cranberries into the porridge while simmering then top with a few extra cranberries, sliced banana and a drizzle of Rowse Honey clear honey.
Ingredients:
For the porridge:
- 150g rolled oats
- 500ml skimmed milk
- 500ml water
- 50g sunflower seeds
For the topping:
- 400 g of blueberries, raspberries and strawberries
Clarks Maple Syrup
Method:
- Combine the oats, milk and water in a medium saucepan. Stir well and place over a high heat, until the mixture begins to boil. Turn the heat down and stir continuously for 4 – 5 minutes until the porridge becomes thick and creamy.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the sunflower seeds. The porridge will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Divide the porridge between 4 warm bowls, top with the fresh berries and drizzle generously with Clarks Maple Syrup.
Ingredients:
- 125g pack of blueberries
- 1 cup oats
- 2 cups water
- Pinch of salt
- Topping:
- 1 banana
- remaining blueberries
- chopped almonds
- Linseed
Method:
- In a saucepan, add the oats, half of the blueberries and the water and salt. Bring to the boil and simmer for 4-5 minutes. Once the berries have cooked through, mash them gently with a fork to let the juice out to colour the porridge.
- Serve piping hot in a bowl, top with ½ banana per portion, the remaining blueberries as well as a small handful of chopped almonds and linseeds. We added a drizzle of honey, too.
