Ingredients

  • 50 g handful walnut halves (£1.79/3)=(£0.60)
  • 1 apple, chopped into cubes (£1.00/6)=(£0.16)
  • 100 g porridge oats (£0.75)
  • ½ pint almond milk (£1.80/2)=(£0.90)
  • ½ pint water

Cupboard Essentials

  • 2 tbsp + 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp cornflour

Instructions

Preheat oven to 190°C fan

  • Place the walnuts on a baking tray and drizzle (1tsp) of honey over them. Shake the tray and pop in the oven, timer set to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the apple into a saucepan with the honey & 200ml of water. Bring up to a boil and simmer until the water is almost evaporated and the apples start to caramelise and brown.
  • Once this happens, add another 100ml of water whisked with the cornflour. Pour this into the mix and it should quickly thicken to form the syrup. Set the saucy apples aside whilst you cook the porridge.
  • Using the same pan (for added sweetness), add the oats, ½ pint of water and ½ pint of almond milk. Heat on medium/low for around 5 minutes until you achieve your desired porridge consistency.
  • Serve up the porridge with some of the sweet apples, the toasted walnuts and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
