Notes

Nutritional information is approximate, per serving (based on single serving and without toppings and sweetener) and should be treated as a rough guideline only.
This recipe is easy to double or triple etc. and leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in a pan over a low heat adding more liquid to adjust consistency. Alternatively use a microwave.
Apple and cinnamon porridge can also be cooked in a microwave. For details see FAQs above.

TIPS:

Cook porridge in water adding plant milk to adjust consistency and add creaminess. You honestly won't be able to tell the difference but will use less milk.

If you'd prefer the apple to be quite soft, add it at the very start of cooking as opposed to later so that it has longer cooking time. Alternatively, use apple puree instead of grated apple. Same goes for raisins/sultanas.
