Porridge with grilled pears


Ingredients

serves 1

  • 1 small pear, halved and cored.

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

  • 1 portion of GF oats

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds

  • 1 tsp ground flaxseed

  • 1 tsp maca powder

  • 1/2 courgette, finely grated

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1-2 tbsp coconut milk kefir

  • handful of raspberries (I've used frozen ones)

  • hemp seed and bee pollen to serve


Drizzle the maple syrup over the pear and grill on a low to medium heat. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.

Add your oats, chia and flaxseed to a saucepan and cover with water. Stir vigorously and this will release the natural creamy taste from the oats. Add the maca powder, courgette and cinnamon. Cook for a further minute and add a little more water if needed. You don’t want the porridge too runny as you will loosen it up with the kefir later.

Once the porridge is cooked, remove from the heat and stir in the coconut milk kefir. Top with the pears and all maple syrup juices and add your raspberries, hemp seed and bee pollen.
