Chocolate and Tahini Porridge

I love the earthy bitterness of the tahini contrasted with the creamy, sweet milk chocolate. I think this feels grown up and sophisticate (well I like to think so at least!). Use dark chocolate for even more sophisticated vibe, maybe add a dash more sweetness to compensate for the dark flavours.

Serves 1

Ingredients

Porridge

• 1/2 cup oats

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1/2 cup water

• 1 tbsp tahini

• Pinch of salt

• 1 tsp honey

(Notes on substitutions found below the method)

Method:

1. 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.

2. Top with chocolate spread, tahini and chocolate chunks

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

• Chocolate spread: I use Wholeearth chocolate and hazelnut peanut butter, it is totally up to you what you use.
