Easy Food Recipes and Cooking - Goodness Breakfast With Maple Pears
Serves 4-6
• 100g rolled oats
• 100g millet flakes*
• 100g barley flakes*
• 1/2cup (100g) quinoa
• 1/4 cup (40g) pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
• 40g sesame seeds
• 2 tbs honey
• BOOml almond milk*, plus extra 200ml
• Flaked almonds, to serve
Maple pears
• 2 pears, cored, sliced
• 1 tbs maple syrup, plus extra to serve
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Combine oats, barley, millet, quinoa and seeds in a bowl, then scatter over a baking tray. Toast in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden - check every 5 minutes and give tray a shake to ensure they toast evenly. Cool. (You can store in ajar until needed.)
Place the toasted grain mixture and 800ml almond milk in a large saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring, for 10 minutes or until tender - add the extra 200ml almond milk to loosen, if you like. Alternatively, use 1 large handful of grain mixture and 200ml almond milk per person.
Meanwhile, place the pear and maple syrup in a separate saucepan over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes or until just warmed through. Divide the porridge among bowls and top with warm pear, a drizzle of maple syrup and flaked almonds.
Millet and barley flakes, and almond milk are from health food shops and selected delis and supermarkets.
