I love porridge and autumn is the perfect season to get back into beautiful warm bowls to start the day. As I have said before porridge doesn’t have to be a boring breakfast made with oats, water and a little salt as is the traditional Scottish method, in fact I will not eat it if it is made like that. Instead it can be a delicious and healthy start to the day, helping to get in some fruit and seeds into your breakfast.
In the recipe below I share an autumn favourite with pears but apples, bananas and figs are also great.

Mmmm, delicious. Now we just need some Autumn weather in LA.
I hope it comes soon, the leaves here are looking amazing already! Although it is a little early so I think it is going to be a hard winter here! H x
This looks amazing! I will have to make it for breakfast 🙂
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it! H x
I love porridge every morning 🙂 I make it with prunes, dried apple, almond milk and cinnamon. I like the idea of adding vanilla and cardamom. Yummm.
That sounds wonderful, I haven’t had a prune for ages! H x
They are totally under rated 🙂
YUM! This bowl looks so delicious! Porridge is totally perfect for fall, all warm and thick. Great for those early mornings.
Thank you! I agree it is really comforting on cold autumn mornings! H x
