Warming Apple ‘Porridge’

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup almonds
  • 2 apples
  • 4 medjool dates
  • 2 tbsp linseeds
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • greek yoghurt (optional)
  • mixed berries (optional)

Method

  • Prep Ingredients: Core apples
  • In a food processor, blitz the nuts until well chopped. Set aside.
  • Add the apple and dates to the food processor and blitz until well chopped.
  • Place apple mix into a large saucepan with 60mL of water. Cook over medium to high heat until apple softens.
  • Add in the chopped nuts and all remaining ingredients to the pan with the apple. Cook over medium heat while stirring for 5mins or until the 'porridge' reaches the consistency you are happy with.
  • Serve porridge with a dollop of greek yoghurt and top with berries. So. Good!

Low carb adaptation: Use berries instead of the apple and reduce the number of dates to lower the carb content.

 

NOTE: You will need a food processor for this recipe to blitz some of the ingredients.

Thermomix Instructions:

  1. Add nuts to your mixer bowl and chop: 8secs/speed 5. Set aside.

  6. Cook ‘porridge’ for 4mins/105deg/speed 2/MC on.
