Apples And Oats Porridge
(4 servings)
- 4 cups water
-
1 and 1/2 cups oat bran (not oatmeal)
-
1 large apple - peeled/cored and chopped into very small pieces
-
1/3 cup raisins
-
1 Tablespoon pure maple syrup
-
1/2 teaspoon ground caraway seeds
-
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
milk for serving (optional)
In a large (at least 2 quarts) sauce pan over high heat, bring the water to a boil. Stir in the the oat bran and allow water to return to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for two minutes - stirring often.
After two minutes, turn off heat. Stir in the apple, raisins, maple syrup and spices. Let stand until apple pieces soften - about 5 minutes - stirring occasionally.
Divide hot cereal evenly among 4 bowls. Serve with the milk if desired.
This is kind of like a super delicious homemade Cream of Wheat style hot cereal - but with all the goodness of oat bran.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank muffin for this recipe.
