Prep Time: 15 min
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE APPLE TOPPING
1 red apple
½ tsp cinnamon
Drizzle of maple syrup
FOR THE PORRIDGE½ cup oats
¼ cup apple puree
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ground clove
½ tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup milk of your choice
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tbsp ground flaxseeds
Pinch of salt
100g greek-style yoghurt (use high-protein if you can)
Optional scoop of protein powder
1 tbsp nut butter of choice (I used almond butter)
METHOD
Start by making the apple topping. Cut the apple into bite-sized pieces and add them to a pan. Drizzle with the maple syrup and some cinnamon. On medium-high heat, fry the apples for a few minutes until they start to caramelize and turn golden (and smell amazing).
In a saucepan, mix the oats, plant milk, ground flax, pinch of salt and cook for a few minutes until thick. Depending on the consistency you like, add more or less milk.
Once off the heat, add the apple puree, vanilla extract, spices, the optional protein powder and half the greek yogurt. Mix well.
Serve in a bowl, top with the rest of the yoghurt, nut butter and the apple toppings. Enjoy!
