Vegan caramelised apple & cinnamon porridge | Easy vegan breakfast idea
Porridge is my favourite breakfast, especially during the colder months. Here’s a super easy vegan breakfast idea for a cosy morning: make this heart-warming vegan caramelised apple & cinnamon porridge.
Vegan caramelised apple & cinnamon porridge
Ingredients for 1 serving
1 cup of rolled oats (I usually have 50 to 60g) *
Your favourite plant-based milk or water (the quantity depends on your desired porridge consistency)
1 apple
2 tablespoons of vegan “buttery spread” (I use Flora or Koko Dairy Free Spread)
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
* For this recipe I had been gifted some 3Bears Apple porridge oats which I used but normal oats are fine too!
Optional:
Plant-based yogurt
Granola
Sesame, pumpkin, chia seeds
How to prepare your vegan caramelised apple & cinnamon porridge
Start by making the caramelised apples. Melt the vegan butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat whilst you cut the apple into small cubes. Add the chopped apple, brown sugar and cinnamon to the pan.
Stir and reduce the heat. Let it cook for about 8 to 10 minutes until the apple is soft and golden.
In the meantime, prepare the oatmeal by combining the oats with water or plant-based milk. Cooking them in a saucepan is the best way to obtain creamy porridge consistency.
Once your oatmeal is ready, pour into a bowl. Add the apple and add any other toppings of your choice.
I personally like to add an extra sprinkle of cinnamon, some seeds, granola and soya yogurt.
Eat warm and enjoy!
How to make your porridge even more filling? Add protein
I don’t know about you, but sometimes even the biggest bowl of porridge doesn’t keep me full until lunch unless I add protein powder to my oats.
This is simply due to the fact that protein takes longer than carbs to be digested and therefore keeps you satiated for longer.
The easiest way to add protein to your porridge is to turn your oats into proats. Simply add a scoop of your favourite plant-based protein powder to your oats and mix well before adding water or milk.
For this recipe, my favourite plant-based protein flavours are vanilla or pecan & cinnamon.
