Baked oat milk porridge with pears,
almonds & date syrup
Prep time: 10 mins Cooking time: 30 mins Serves 4-6
You might wonder why anyone would oven-bake porridge, when it takes so
little time to cook the conventional way? Well, it does mean that you can swap
standing at the stove and stirring constantly for simply mixing everything
together and leaving it to morph into breakfast heaven under its own steam,
while you soak in the bath or even go back to bed with your book!
