HEALTHY CHOCOLATE OATMEAL/PORRIDGE



Healthy Chocolate Oatmeal/Porridge image

A really simple idea I use almost every morning, it's really filling and slow-release energy as well as providing antioxidants and feel-good serotonin from the cocoa, and it curbs cravings for chocolate. I find that even if I have plain porridge in the morning, I still seem to want something sweet, whereas with this I don't and it only has a few more calories than plain. It's also really quick to make, which is a bonus because I never seem to have enough time in the morning! I do also make it as a snack when I need chocolate, or even sometimes as dessert. You can add almost anything to it- cinnamon, almond, vanilla, chilli...whatever you feel like. Give it a try and see what you think!

APPLE CINNAMON OATMEAL PORRIDGE



Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Porridge image

I for one like the flavoured porridges and this one is warm and tasty. Also an excellent way for the kids to start their day and a perfect way to keep some money in your pocket on grocery day. Tastes pretty darn close to the packaged oatmeal on your grocers shelves.

Provided by franrobson

Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups unsweetened apple juice or 3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
1/2 peeled and diced apple
1/3 cup raisins (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • In saucepan bring apple juice and salt to a boil.
  • Whisk in the rolled oats, apple, raisons (if using) and cinnamon.
  • Reduce heat and simmer whisking constantly for about 4-5 minutes or until desired thickness.
  • **I myself prefer the unsweetened apple juice**.

Tips:

  • Use the right oats. Steel-cut oats are the healthiest option, but they take the longest to cook. Rolled oats are a good compromise between taste and texture, and they cook more quickly. Instant oats are the quickest to cook, but they have the least flavor and texture.
  • Choose your liquid wisely. Water is the traditional liquid for oatmeal, but you can also use milk, almond milk, or soy milk. Milk will make your oatmeal creamier and richer, while almond milk and soy milk will add a nutty flavor.
  • Add some sweetness. Oatmeal is naturally bland, so you'll need to add some sweetness to make it palatable. Sugar is the most common sweetener, but you can also use honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. You can also add dried fruit, fresh fruit, or nuts for a natural sweetness.
  • Cook your oatmeal to your desired consistency. Oatmeal can be cooked to a thick, porridge-like consistency, or a thinner, soup-like consistency. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of oats you use and the desired consistency.
  • Don't overcook your oatmeal. Overcooked oatmeal will be gummy and unpleasant. If you're not sure if your oatmeal is done cooking, taste a bite. It should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal porridge is a delicious and nutritious breakfast option that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With so many different ways to make it, there's sure to be a recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give oatmeal porridge a try. You won't be disappointed!
