METHOD
For the porridge, start by grating the apple, carrot and ginger and then set aside.
1In a medium size saucepan, heat the coconut oil and add the oats and quinoa flakes. Stir for a minute and then add the almond or coconut milk.
Allow this to simmer gently for a few minutes while the oats and quinoa flakes soften, then add the apple, carrot and ginger.
3Stir well and continue to simmer gently for another minute and then add the cinnamon and coconut sugar. You can add more milk depending on how you like the consistency of your porridge!
4When the porridge is cooked to your liking, transfer it into two bowls and scatter the toppings evenly upon the two.
If you like your porridge a little sweeter you can also drizzle some honey or maple syrup over the top.
Enjoy!
