Apple pie porridge
You gotta admit; if you read something with a name like apple pie porridge it makes you wonder right? It makes you wonder what it will taste like and will it really taste like apple pie or is it just a sales story? And I gotta be honest here. Yes it resembles the flavors that you would find in apple pie. But of course it is vastly different in terms of structure and taste. But still… it has a good name, so we’ll stick to that!
In terms of looks it is certainly not the most appealing dish ever… Lol… I guess it falls in the same category as overnight oats. One of those dishes that are not meant to be photographed but rather are meant to be eaten instead. So despite appearances I can highly recommend you try this breakfast dish. It has all sorts of delicious and healthy ingredients in there such as quinoa flakes, coconut sugar and of course apple and spices.
I’m not sure how common quinoa flakes are in your particular country but I double checked and they are available to buy on Amazon. So that probably means that you will be able to get them in your area too. If not you can substitute the flakes for regular quinoa. If you do use regular quinoa for this apple pie porridge it’s probably easiest to already cook the quinoa first to make sure it is properly cooked.
Apple pie porridge with quinoa flakes
Ingredients
- 1 apple

- 150 ml water
- 50 gr quinoa flakes
- 1 tbsp raisins
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/2 tbsp coconut sugar

How to make the apple pie porridge
- Cut the apple into small pieces, melt the butter in a frying pan and add the apple. Bake for about a minute while stirring. Add the quinoa flakes and about half of the water. Leave to simmer for about 5 minutes and add more water if it becomes too dry. I ended up needing about 120 ml of water.
- Add the raisins, cinnamon, coconut sugar, salt and the spices into the mix. Leave to simmer for a short while and transfer to a bowl. Sprinkle the hazelnuts on top to finish it off.
