Ingredients

9 total
  • 50g cooked quinoa
  • 30g rolled porridge oats (check for gluten-free)
  • ½ eating apple, ½ grated, ½ sliced
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 small pinch sea salt flakes
  • 1 small pinch ground allspice (or cinnamon and/or nutmeg)
  • 250ml no-added-sugar soy milk, plus extra to serve
  • 1 orange, zested to give ¼ tsp zest
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

Method

2 steps
  1. Step 1

    Put the cooked quinoa, oats, grated apple and chia seeds into a pan with the salt, allspice and soy milk. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 mins, stirring, until the oats are tender. Loosen with a splash more soy milk if the porridge thickens too quickly.

  2. Step 2

    Pour into a bowl, adding a little more soy milk, if liked; top with the grated zest, maple syrup and sliced apple.
