Porridge is a household staple, with thousands of people enjoying this wholesome start to the day. I have given the traditional porridge one heck of a health kick makeover to create this thick and comforting 'Porridge'.
The benefits of Omega 3 are ESSENTIAL to the body and mind. During the shorter days of Winter, Omega 3 helps to bring light into the body and keeps hydration sustained. Iron is important for sustaining optimum energy levels. Fibre helps to aid digestion, keeping bowels working as they should.
The double boost of Omega 3 in this recipe comes from the Chia Seeds and Hemp Seeds. The Iron comes from the warming sweetness of Molasses and Fibre comes from the Gluten Free Oats (or Buckwheat Flakes) and Banana. There is also the mellow sweetness throughout from the help of Carob Powder.
Get cosy and enjoy this winter morning treat 💛

There is so much joy that comes with sourcing your own food in nature. Not only is there the benefits from eating seasonally and locally - Foraged foods are packed full of nutrition and contain no unnatural chemicals that can be found in supermarket produce. It gives you a chance to be experimental too which is where these Gluten Free, Refined Sugar Free + Vegan Apple, Blackberry and Cobnut Crumble Bars come in!Â

Autumn has got to be the most magical time of the year! September, October and November has bought an abundance of foods found in nature and the harvest season has rewarded us with the fruits of natures hard work.
It has been a pleasure to go out and forage such delightful seasonal foods found a stones throw from away from my doorstop in Wales. I have been particularly lucky to find plenty of Blackberries, Apples and Cobnuts! I have never foraged Cobnuts before and after researching them I am shocked to discover how nutritious and tasty they are. Cobnuts are part of the hazel nut family and when picked young and fresh they have a yummy sweet creaminess to them. They are also very tasty roasted! Cobnuts are growing in popularity, so much so that this year I found Waitrose selling them! So, If you are lucky enough to pick them fresh I highly recommend it 🙂

*Note: To roast the Cobnuts, place de-shelled nuts evenly onto a baking tray and roast on 160C for 10-15 minutes, until nicely roasted in colour and have a crunch to them.
