Coffee and Walnut Porridge

There is something wonderful about a good coffee and walnut cake. It reminds me of tea rooms, church coffee mornings and Mary Berry. My favourite part was always the buttercream icing, usually eating far too much of it and feeling rather sick later.

This porridge encapsulates the delightful flavours of this combination in a healthier way. Not sure if Mary would approve though...

Ingredients:

Coffee and walnut cake

• 1/2 cup oats

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1/2 cup water

• 1 tsp maple syrup (or honey/sugar)

• Pinch of salt

• 1 tbsp strong coffee

• 15g walnuts, chopped

Topping

• Yoghurt

• Maple syrup

• A few whole walnuts

• Whole coffee beans (optional - for added crunch)

(Notes on substitutions found below the method)

Method:

1. Mix together the porridge ingredients. On the hob: place them in a saucepan, bring to boil and simmer for 4-5 minutes stirring regularly to make it rich and creamy. In the microwave: place them 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 yoghurt, a drizzle of maple syrup, walnuts and whole coffee beans for added crunch

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.

• Cocoa powder: You can also use cacao powder.
