Prebiotic Baked Apple Pie Porridge 

Created by Emily Rees

Is there anything better than nostalgic baked apple pie porridge to start your morning? We don’t think so.

This cosy and rich yet easy-to-digest porridge will warm you right to the core. Inspired by Ayurvedic principles, Vedic meditation teacher and Ayurvedic recipe developer Emily Rees has taken the classic porridge recipe and elevated it to an even-better-for-you alternative with the addition of ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamon and ghee. Made with rolled oats, chia seeds and pecans, this recipe is also filled with fiber and healthy fats to keep you satiated all morning all.

True Ayurvedic cooking isn’t just what we cook and eat, but also how. Emily explains:

“As you prepare this recipe, do so with good intention and with love in your heart. Be mindful as you cook, and carry that presence into the way you eat, taking your time to slow down, savour and allow the food to nourish you on every level.”

Makes: 4

Ingredients:

Wet mixture

• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• ⅓ cup water
• 2 cups milk of choice

Dry mixture

• 6 tsp Wanderlust Prebiotic Gut Goodness
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp ground ginger
• ½ tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ½  tsp ground cardamom
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt
• 3 medium apples, cored and diced (set aside a handful for the topping)
• ½ cup raisins

Crunchy topping

• 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
• 4 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp ghee or coconut oil, melted, plus extra for greasing

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (375°F). Grease a baking dish with coconut oil then set aside. Place the chia seeds in a bowl with the water, stir to combine and stand for a couple of minutes until thickened.
2. In a medium bowl, combine Prebiotic Gut Goodness, oats, baking powder, spices, vanilla, salt, apples and raisins.
3. In a small separate bowl, combine the chia mixture with milk of choice. Mix well to break up lumps.
4. In another small bowl, mix together the pecans, maple syrup, coconut oil and reserved apple pieces.
5. Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir until just combined. Transfer to the greased baking dish. Sprinkle over the pecan mixture.
6. Bake for 30 minutes or until oats are set and the topping is golden brown and crunchy.
7. Spoon into a bowl and top with 1/4 portion of coconut yogurt. Store any leftovers in an airtight container and simply just re-heat and top with more coconut yogurt before eating.
