Ingredients
- 60g organic porridge oats (don’t use jumbo oats)
- 250ml whole milk, plus extra to adjust (optional)
- 1 heaped tbsp almond butter
- 1 preserved pear, plus 2 tbsp syrup – we used homemade preserved pears but you could use tinned pears in syrup or swap for 1 fresh pear, halved and cored, with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup

Method
- Put the oats in a small pan and cook for 2-3 minutes over a medium heat until toasted and nutty. Tip into a bowl and add the milk to the pan. Bring to a simmer, then add the oats. Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly but gently for 5-6 minutes until thickened and creamy.
- Add a splash more milk to reach your preferred consistency. Serve the porridge topped with the almond butter, preserved pears and a little of their syrup (or fresh pear with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup).
