Oats with Maple Syrup

Yes I know, porridge. I really am not trying to invent the wheel and I am not trying to be smart, I just want you to know that this was delicious.

There are around 60 days of chilly weather ahead and some cracking strawberries coming into season. So you will have time to try this. Look away if you are lucky enough to be in amongst beautiful summer weather, because here, in southern Australia, we have porridge weather. Strawberries were so cheap this week I was brazen enough to poach them in some maple syrup to eat with the organic oats I had in the cupboard from Kialla Pure Foods, in Queensland. It really makes a difference to use lovely oats. Processed porridge in little sachets is definitely not worth eating. Am I lecturing you? Sorry.

Any way. Just in case you need some breakfast inspiration, I’ve got it here. You could try making these oats with raspberries or bananas if you wanted. I added apricots and some crunchy muesli bits with nuts.

Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • 250 gm strawberries cut in half. 1 punnet
  • 80 ml maple syrup 1/4 cup
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 250 ml milk 1 cup
  • 625 ml water 2 1/2 cups
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 whole apricots split in half
  • 1/2 cup muesli crunchy with nuts

Instructions
 

  • Put the oats and water and milk into a pot and bring up to boil. Turn down immediately and simmer on low till the oats are softened and the water has evaporated.Turn off and put on a lid and sit for a couple of minutes.
  • Put the strawberries in a bowl with the maple syrup and heat for 1 minute. This should be long enough for the strawberries to be softened and warm. If not, heat them at 1/2 minute increments till soft. This could also be done on the stovetop in a pot.
  • If the porridge is too thick and a little extra milk and warm through. Serve with the strawberries in maple syrup and crunchy muesli on top.

Maybe breakfast isn’t your oat thing. What about this great Muesli slice from the archives?

    This is the breakfast I have every morning but with blueberries or kiwifruit. Strawberries are not in season here right now but I do have some frozen ones I use occasionally.

    Totally agree with you about the packages stuff… yuk! That is pretty brazen of you to poach strawberries (they must have been very inexpensive!) but yum yum yum. It’s getting a bit chilly in Brisbane in the mornings too.

    My partner’s an oat porridge for breakfast fan, but I’m still not fully convinced. Strange that, because I love congee for most times of the day. The poached strawberries look totally delicious as a topping and so do the muesli slices. Scrumptiousness! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I hope those 60 days pass by quickly – I’m not a winter person. I agree porridge is a great start to any cold winter’s day. But I have to say I am guilty of feeding my children those convenient sachets – but not this year! I’m trying to go a-la-naturale xx

    I think recipes that don’t reinvent the wheel, but which taste great (and look great!), can be among the best type ๐Ÿ™‚

    This would have been wonderful early this morning but since it’s noon, I’ll wait til tomorrow to give poached strawberries a try. The berries are so good this year.
