Spiced Almond Porridge with Caramelised Pears

Beautifully spiced, and warming oats topped with sticky caramelised roast pears — a nourishing bowl of goodness the whole family will love.

I’m never sure whether to post oat or porridge recipes on my website, as I feel like many people already have their own favourite recipe already?

However, this one is super-special.

Beautifully spiced and warming oats topped with sticky caramelised roast pears. Perfect for autumn and winter when you want something warm and comforting.

As this makes quite a big portion, you can store any leftovers in the fridge and eat them cold topped with some more plant-based milk. Delicious!

The pears can also be revived by heating in a frying pan with a splash of maple syrup and are absolutely gorgeous eaten on toast with some peanut butter.

Enjoy, Love Niki xx
