A healthy, nutritious, light, and fragrant breakfast or snack, the apple cinnamon and walnut porridge is truly irresistible. I don’t really like “cooked” porridge, I prefer overnight porridge that doesn’t require cooking and remains firmer. Actually, this one with apples enchanted me with the aroma it releases and the natural sweetness. Along with Baked oats it’s on the list of my favorite breakfasts.

Steps for the preparation of apple cinnamon and walnut porridge
First, soak the oats in water for about ten minutes. Meanwhile, peel the apples and remove the core. Cut them into cubes.
In a saucepan, place the apples, agave syrup (or any sweetener you wish to use), and a little water. Cook over low heat until they become soft.
At this point, add the oats with their soaking water and cook for about 5 minutes, flavoring with cinnamon and seasoning with a pinch of salt (and other chosen sweetener if you prefer a sweeter porridge). Pour the mixture into a couple of bowls and serve with crumbled walnuts on top.
Storage
Store for a maximum of a couple of days in the refrigerator.
