10-Minute Molasses Oatmeal

Hi guys! Hope you’re having a LOVELY Wednesday! I wanted to share this quick and easy porridge recipe that’s just PERFECT for the holidays! It’s my Apple Molasses Porridge cooked over the stove top with almond milk and topped with blackstrap molasses, apples, grapes and pomegranate. Doesn’t it look like Christmas in a bowl?

I really love this porridge combo for the holidays because of the of blackstrap molasses. It really adds the most beautiful warm and spiced sweetness that we so adore around Christmas time. Typically when making oats I’ll add a little maple syrup or organic honey to the bowl, but with this recipe it’s the blackstrap molasses that sweetens the bowl. And all you need is a teaspoon. It’s so dark and thick, and almost looks like chocolate doesn’t it? The flavour is a sweet, deep almost burnt caramel smell that is completely euphoric.

I’ve then topped it with some thinly sliced apple, red grapes and pomegranite seeds. I love this winter fruity combination especially with the sweet and spiced molasses. They go together like Santa and his elves.

These bowls are the perfect winter bowls to serve come Chritsmas Day, and I do hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

Happy holidays to you!
