Ingredients
Scale
1 cup rolled oats
2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)
1/2 cup fresh cranberries
1 medium apple, diced
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a saucepan, combine rolled oats, almond milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce heat and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats are cooked and creamy.
While the oats are cooking, prepare the cranberry sauce by combining fresh cranberries, maple syrup, and a splash of water in a small pot. Cook over medium heat until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the diced apple and cinnamon into the cooked oats, mixing well.
Serve the porridge in bowls, topped with the cranberry sauce and chopped pecans. Drizzle with additional maple syrup if desired.
Notes
For a creamier texture, use more milk or add a dollop of yogurt on top.
Feel free to substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds based on preference.
This recipe can be made vegan by using plant-based milk and maple syrup.
