I think everyone has their favourite brand of chocolate. Whilst I am a dairy milk girl for everyday, when I want to splash the cash a little Hotel Chocolat really is where it is at.
When having an evening in, me and my friend, Natasha, will buy a selection box from hotel chocolate and rate each chocolate out of 10 - it’s very serious. Anyway…this porridge for some reason reminds me of Hotel Chocolate. Maybe it’s because I think ginger and chocolate seems like a very grown up chocolate flavour, or maybe it’s just because when I made this the first time I added gold glitter to my porridge (just because why not?).
Serves 1
Ingredients
Porridge
5 cm piece ginger or 1/4 tsp ground ginger
1.5 tsp cocoa powder
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
Pinch of salt
1 tsp honey
Topping
Dollop of yoghurt
3 squares of chocolate, chopped
Small piece of ginger, chopped
Handful of almonds, chopped
(Notes on substitutions found below the method)
Method:
Mix together the porridge ingredients. On the hob: place the ingredients in a saucepan, bring to boil and simmer for 4-5 minutes stirring regularly to make it rich and creamy. In the microwave: place the ingredients in a microwave proof bowl, then microwave on high for 1 minute, give it a good stir for 30s minutes. Put back in the microwave for 2-3 minutes stirring regularly to make it rich and creamy.
Top with yoghurt, chocolate, ginger and almonds.
Notes and substitutions:
Oats: I use regular porridge oats, but you can use any type. Just adjust the cooking time.
Milk: Any milk works, including soy and nut milks.
Honey: This can be replaced with any sweetener of your choice
