Serves: 4
Ingredients
Always take time to soak the oats beforehand, as the water softens and bloats them.
- 120g (4½ oz) porridge oats
- 840ml (1½ pt) water
- 100g (4oz) flaked almonds
- 4 tbsp heather honey
Method
- Put the oats in the pan and add half of the water and leave to stand for a few minutes.
- Add the remaining water when ready and put the pan on a medium heat. Bring to the boil and reduce the heat and simmer for 6 mins, stirring occasionally.
- Scatter the flaked almonds onto a baking sheet and place under a medium grill for 1-2 mins until golden and set aside. Meanwhile, check the porridge.
- Once the porridge has reached its desired consistency, serve into bowls, top with a generous tablespoon of honey, sprinkle with some almonds and serve immediately.
