Very filling, a good way to use hidden fruit, comfort food.
Beautiful comfort food that fills you up, and hides fruit to make it good for the whole family. I might try more spice and dried currents next time. (Get some flaked almonds too lol)

50g to feed 3 people? Is this correct?

    SharonFriday 11th February 2022

    Hi Carol, you don’t say which ingredient you’re asking about, but if it’s the rolled porridge oats, the recipe states 80g for 3 servings. Hope you enjoy the recipe!

I Like the look of the apple pie porridge but there’s only me who eats porridge, can this recipe be reheated?

Reply

    HollyWednesday 9th February 2022

    Hey Gillian, yes this porridge can be reheated from chilled. Place in a microwave proof container with loosely fitting lid and heat for 4-7 minutes until piping hot. Or you can heat it on the stove in a saucepan covered with a lid. You may need to add a little water if it looks a bit dry! Hope that helps!
