Inspiration

A medium-sized cooking apple
3 tbsp maple syrup
60g hazelnuts, chopped
100g porridge oats
200ml oat milk (or a milk of your choice)
½ tsp ground cinnamon
A pinch of salt
50g raisins

1. Preheat your oven to 160°C. Peel and core the apple and then slice it thinly into half-moons. Place the slices on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper and bake for about 15 minutes.
2. Take the apple slices out of the oven and drizzle over a tablespoon of maple syrup. To one side (or on a separate sheet) add the hazelnuts with another tablespoon of maple syrup drizzled over (keep the hazelnuts in a clump so the maple syrup forms a bit of a praline). Put both the apple slices and the hazelnuts back in the oven (still at 160°C) for 20 minutes, turning the apple halfway through. Once they have crisped up and the nuts have begun to turn brown, remove from the oven.
3. To make the porridge, put the oats, milk, cinnamon, salt and raisins in a saucepan on a medium heat. Stir continually until the porridge thickens, which should take about five minutes (depending on the oats you use, timings can vary and you may need to add a little more milk).
4. Once the porridge is at the consistency you like and the oats are softened, take it off the heat and divide between two bowls. Top with the apple crisps and break up the hazelnut praline and crumble over. Finish off with a final drizzle of maple syrup before serving while it’s hot.
