5. Serve & Enjoy: Dig into your delicious sweet porridge while it’s warm, and enjoy the blend of creamy oats and nutty dukkah in every bite.

Tips:

• Make it Creamier: For an ultra-creamy texture, cook your oats with a mix of milk and water or add a splash of cream.
• Get Creative with Flavours: Try adding a pinch of cardamom or nutmeg for an extra warm spice note, or stir in some dried fruits like raisins or chopped dates for natural sweetness.
• Meal Prep: Make a larger batch of porridge and store leftovers in the fridge for quick and easy breakfasts throughout the week. Just reheat and top with fresh Dukkah.
