Date and coconut porridge



Good morning! Judging from the sunrise I've just been watching, it's going to be a sunny Sunday 

but a cold one, so what better way to start the day than with a warming bowl of porridge. I've gone with dates and coconut this morning for a deliciously sweet bowl of oats. 


This recipe is can be dairy free by using water but if you use milk, the coconut and milk goes together to make a deliciously coconut-ty creaminess. While the date gives it natural sweetness along with the coconut and the cinnamon adds a little spice. 




Ingredients:


30g of porridge 


180ml water or milk 


1tbsp desiccated coconut 


1/2 tsp cinnamon 


1 or 2 dried date(s) (finely chopped) 


1 tsp honey (can leave out if using milk or if you're wanting less sugar)


1. Put everything into a pan

2. Stir on a medium heat until thickened to your taste 

3. Serve and top with more coconut or Greek yoghurt
