A porridge of linseed, apples and berries (grain-free)
These lovely ingredients mix up to make a lovely thick but light hot breakfast, just right for warming you up on a winter's morning but I enjoy it all through the year. Being cereal-free and free from refined carbs it is a suitable breakfast for a diabetic or weigh-loss diet as very low GI.
Ingredients
- 1 Small apple I prefer apples.
- 50-75 g berries I use frozen through winter and fresh in summer
- 20-25 g Flax Farm Gold Ground Linseed (flax) bronze is just as good
- 25 g chopped nuts chopped
- 1-2 tsp grated fresh ginger optional, you can use dried ginger but much less
- sweetener to taste optional - I use stevia extract
- 1 tsp honey optional
- 1-3 tsp Flax Farm cold-pressed linseed oil optional
- 150-200 ml Water
Instructions
- Core and roughly chop apple, don't remove peel. Almost cover with water in suitable bowl or container.
- Cook, in oven in saucepan or microwave until the apple is soft and cooked. About 4 minutes in microwave 10 minutes in sauce pan or 10 in oven.
- Remove from heat, add grated ginger if using and any other spices and whatever you are using for sweetening. And stir through the cooked apple.
- Now add ground linseed, linseed oil if using, and stir again. Top with berries, chopped nuts and drizzle over a teaspoon of honey.
- Now enjoy.
