Pomegranate porridge
Print recipeWarm oat porridge is a nourishing breakfast alternative to classic sugar bombs such as jam sandwiches or packaged cereals. Oats can help keeping blood sugar levels steady, fill up nicely and can have a soothing effect on nerves.
Oats are naturally gluten-free, can however contain traces of gluten if they are sourced from farms that also produce wheat. 100% gluten-free oats can be found in the ‘gluten-free’ section of the supermarket or health store.
