Whether you’re whipping up a smoothie bowl or preparing your overnight oats, breakfast varieties are aplenty for those wanting to kick-start their day healthily.
Yet, nothing quite rivals the satisfaction of a steaming bowl of porridge on a brisk autumn morning.
Porridge is not only a soothing choice but impressively adaptable, presenting an array of topping possibilities – fruity and nutty one day to more indulgent toppings like chocolate, syrup, or peanut butter the next.
Contrary to common belief, chocolate can indeed play a role in a nutritious morning meal, as Jamie Oliver has shown with his lighter version of the classic.
The celebrity chef has shared his top picks for wholesome morning dishes on his website, stating: “It’s difficult to believe that chocolate could ever be part of a healthy breakfast, but this recipe really is, and will go down a storm with little ones.”
He continued: “The secret is using quality cocoa powder: it gives this porridge that lovely chocolaty goodness, without all the sugar and sat fat from actual chocolate. You’re welcome.”
For those eager to enjoy Jamie Oliver’s chocolate porridge, here’s what you need to know.
This recipe serves up 12 delicious portions, and nutritional details per serving are provided on the chef’s site, reports Surrey Live.
