This breakfast may look and taste indulgent, but it’s actually very healthy and perfect to warm you up on a cold winter’s morning

Breakfast is that one meal a day that often goes ignored for us as parents. Lately I’ve been trying to make more of an effort to actually make myself something delicious and filling, rather than just picking at the kids’ leftovers or even worse, skipping breakfast altogether.

I like porridge but it can get a little bland and boring if you eat it a few times a week, so I decided to flavour it up a little with chocolate and orange. It tastes so decadent, almost like a dessert but is still low in sugar.

This recipe is completely customisable. If you don’t like orange then feel free to leave it out. It would also be delicious with some fresh or frozen raspberries stirred in at the end of cooking. Yum!

Description

This breakfast may look and taste indulgent, but it’s actually very healthy and perfect to warm you up on a cold winter’s morning


Ingredients

  • 40g porridge oats
  • 150ml semi-skimmed milk
  • 50ml water
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 satsumas
  • optional: sugar free sweetener
  • 1 square dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Add the oats, milk, water and cocoa powder to a saucepan.
  2. Cut one of the satsumas in half and squeeze in the juice.
  3. Cook on low for 4-5 minutes, stirring continuously until the ingredients have all combined and the oats are soft.
  4. At this stage you can add a drop of sugar free sweetener to the porridge if you like. This is optional and totally depends on your tastes.
  5. Serve in a bowl with a square of dark chocolate on top on the segments from the second satsuma.

Notes

This recipe is ideal for batch cooking. You can make enough for 2 or 3 days as it will keep in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Reheat on the hob or in the microwave. You may need to add some extra milk or water when reheating.
