How to make your cosy autumn porridge bowl 🍁
Step 1: Cook the porridge
In a small pan, add a few tablespoons of pumpkin purée and your Turtle Porridge Carrot Cake. Cook as usual with milk or water, stirring occasionally until the porridge is creamy and warm. The dried fruit, nuts, and spices in the Turtle Porridge Carrot Cake add layers of flavour and extra nutrition. When it’s ready, pour your porridge into a bowl.
Step 2: Make the orange honey syrup
In a small bowl, combine two tablespoons of honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option) with the juice of half an orange. Mix well, then drizzle over your porridge. This sweet and zesty syrup will balance perfectly with the warm pumpkin and spices.
Step 3: Top it off
To make it even cosier, add 1-2 tablespoons of yoghurt, and sprinkle a handful of your favourite nuts and seeds on top for extra crunch, fibre, and healthy fats to keep you satiated.
Customisation options
Feel like adding your own twist? Here are some easy ways to change it up:
- Add chocolate chips: A few chocolate chips or cacao nibs will transform this bowl into a decadent chocolatey treat.
