Pumpkin-spice porridge
Ingredients
- 100 g oatflakes
- 150 g pumpkin (before cooking)
- 150 g Orange/ Apple
- 20 g shredded flax seed
- 2 Dates
- 1 tbsp brown/coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp ghee
- 1 tbsp tahini/almond butter
- 200 ml water
- 200 ml milk
- 2 tsp pumpkin spice Alternative: cinnamon, cardamon powder, muscat powder
- walnuts and honey to decorate (Optional)
Instructions
- Start with soaking your oats a night before for at least 30 minutes. Use pumpkin purée (steam or bake in the oven). The quick version is to cover small pumpkin pieces half with water, add a lid, and boil on medium heat for about 10 minutes.
- Mix soaked oats, milk, pumpkin purée, spices, and dates and let them simmer on a low heat for 5-10 minutes. Add more liquid if necessary.
- In the end add the flax seed. As they are rich in healthy omega 3 fatty acids, is better to avoid cooking too long to keep the fat structures intact.
- Meanwhile, caramelize 1 orange or apple. In a pan heat ghee, sugar and some water and add the fruit cut in pieces. Lei them cook together for few minutes.
- Serve the warm porridge in a bowl with the caramelized fruit on top, sprinkle with walnuts and a tablespoon of tahini/almond butter and honey (according to your preferences.)
