Can you put apple in porridge?

Yes — and this recipe proves it! Rather than cooking the apple in the porridge, however, we think it’s best to cook the apple separately and then add it to your cooked porridge.

Does apple go with porridge?

The flavours of apple and porridge work beautifully together. If you’ve ever had one of those instant oat packs with apple and cinnamon, imagine that same flavour, but much fresher and more flavourful.

How to add apple to porridge?

There are a few ways you can add apples to porridge: grating apples into porridge while it cooks, adding diced apples to porridge while it cooks, adding raw diced apples on top of cooked porridge or adding cooked apples to cooked porridge. We prefer cooking both the apple and porridge separately, then combining them for maximum flavour.

Instructions

For The Apples

Wash and core the apple, and cut it into thin slices.
Place the apple slices, maple syrup and cinnamon in a medium, microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave for 2 minutes.
Remove from microwave and stir.
Return to microwave and cook for two more minutes until apples are soft and releasing their juices.

For the Porridge

On the Stove

Add all ingredients to a small saucepan.
Heat over high until boiling.
Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently until the porridge has thickened to your desired consistency (about 2-3 minutes). If the porridge is bubbling too much, reduce the heat.
Top with cooked apples and enjoy!

In the Microwave

Add oats, milk, chia seeds and a small pinch of salt to a medium-large cereal bowl.
Place the bowl in the microwave, cover the bowl with a plate to prevent the porridge from boiling over.
Microwave for 1 ½ minutes. Remove the bowl from the microwave, remove the plate and stir the porridge. It will likely need to continue cooking at this point.
If it needs to cook longer, return the bowl to the microwave, re-cover with the plate and cook for another 1 minute. Continue this process, repeating in 1-minute intervals until the desired porridge texture is reached.
Top with cooked apples and enjoy!
