Festive Porridge

Directions

1. Pop a pan on a low heat, and warm through the sliced apples along with 3 tablespoons of water, until softened. Add the cranberries, spices and maple syrup, and bring to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes, until soft and juicy.
2. Pour the oats and milk into a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring until thick and creamy, around 6 minutes. Add in more milk, if needed. Half way through, pour in the milled flaxseed and stir.
3. Serve the porridge topped with the spiced fruit, dried cranberries, and scattered with hazelnuts. The spiced fruit topping can also be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days to enjoy later.
