Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup milk (any kind, dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- 4 pieces dried apricots
- 3 pieces dried figs
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sliced almonds or chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Chop the dried apricots and figs into small bite-sized pieces and set them aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water, milk, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Stir in the rolled oats, raisins, chopped apricots, and chopped figs. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
After about 7-8 minutes of cooking, the oatmeal should begin to thicken. Stir in the ground cinnamon for added flavor.
Taste the porridge and, if desired, add honey or maple syrup for sweetness. Stir well to combine.
Once the porridge reaches your desired consistency (about 10 minutes total), remove it from the heat.
Divide the porridge into two bowls and sprinkle with sliced almonds or chopped nuts, if using. Serve warm and enjoy!
