This is the perfect autumnal warming breakfast! Done using a pressure cooker, it is easy, quick and cost efficient. Made with steel cut oats, this porridge is full of texture, nuttiness and warmth we all crave during colder months. It is a balanced breakfast perfect to fuel a day at school or pre workout.

method

Prep time: 5mins
Cook time: 6mins in pressure cooker

• In your pressure cooker, add all ingredients to the pot ( I have a Ninja Foodie 15 in 1).

• It is best to add ingredients in the order above and make sure the oats are fully submerged under the liquid.

• Secure the pressure cooker lid to the Ninja Foodi, set the nozzle to "seal".

• Set to "pressure cooker" for 6 minutes on high.

• Once the cooking time ends let steam to naturally release (do nothing) for 10-15 minutes.

• Open lid carefully and serve with orange segments, blueberries, seeds, extra cinnamon or your choice of toppings.

NOTE: If using rolled oats cooking time and pressure release times will be shorter.

the health boost tip

 
Using steel cut oats is best if you prefer a bit more texture and bite to your porridge. Steelcut oats (also known as pinhead) also have a more nutty flavour and are the least processed type of oats. Rolled oats have gone through a process of steaming and flattening.

Oats are fibre-rich and a good source of protein packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants..
