I eat this almost every day for breakfast with a boiled egg on the side for protein.  I make enough apple for a week’s worth of breakfasts, portion up and put in the freezer.  You can get 8 plastic boxes for a £1 at the pound shop.  I find if the boxes are all the same they stack well and you’re not forever looking for a lid.

You can find millet and golden linseed in your local health food shop.

I don’t have a steamer so I use a colander over a large saucepan with about 2 inches of boiled water on the bottom.  I put the saucepan lid on top of the colander.

Enough apple for 6 breakfasts and enough porridge for 1.

Ingredients

4 cooking apples

1/3 cup of millet flakes

1 tbsp golden linseed

1.  Peel the skin and remove the core of each of the apples.  Slice into 1cm thick slices.
2. Place in a steamer or a colander over a large saucepan containing 2 inches of water with the saucepan lid over the colander to keep the steam in.  Place on a medium hob.
3. Steam for 24 minutes stirring half way through.  The aim is to keep the apples as whole as possible and avoid mushiness.
4. Meanwhile add millet and golden linseed to 2/3 cup of water.  Microwave for 2 minutes.
5. Divide the apples into 5 portions plus one extra for today’s breakfast.
6. When the leftover portions are cool, freeze.

To make the breakfast on other days simply microwave the apple for 1 – 2 minutes until warm but not mushy.  Then make the porridge as usual.
