This is an easy breakfast recipe to make, and you can make it the night before which will save you some time in the morning. In winter I enjoy porridge most mornings, but as we are heading in to the hotter months of the year, I'm swapping warm porridge for cool overnight oats/quinoa. I like to try different flavour variations and in this one I've included stewed apples which has a host of health benefits. Apples are rich in polyphenols which have anti-inflammatory actions and antioxidants. Apples are also one of the highest sources of pectins, which means when you consume them they have the ability to ‘feed’ particular bacteria within our microbiome. So apples are a great choice if you are wanting to support and restore your gut health.
Ingredients
Method
Chop 1 apple, taking care to remove the core (you can also peel or leave on).
Place in a saucepan with the water and spices over a moderate heat and bring to the boil.
Once boiling, turn down to simmer over a low heat for five minutes
Remove from the heat and stir well, and set aside.
Once stewed apples have cooked, add of all the ingredients to the stewed apple mixture, mixing well so all the ingredients are combined.
Place in the fridge and leave to set for at least a few hours, but make the night before will save you time and ensure the flavours have really soaked into the oats / quinoa flakes.
When ready to eat, optional to top with coconut yoghurt and walnuts.
