Some mornings call for speed — but that doesn’t mean you have to skip a warm, comforting breakfast.

This quick apple porridge is ready in minutes, made from just five simple ingredients, and packed with the kind of cozy flavor that makes cold mornings feel a little bit better.

Whether you're rushing out the door or enjoying a slow start to your day, this 5-minute microwave recipe delivers a nourishing, cinnamon-scented bowl of goodness that’s both healthy and satisfying.

This recipe was published in the lifestyle magazine Freundin.

Here's what you need:

  • 50 g oat flakes

  • 200 ml almond milk

  • 1 apple

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 tsp honey (optional, for added sweetness)

How to make it:

  1. Wash, core, and dice the apple into small cubes.

  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the oats, almond milk, apple pieces, and cinnamon.

  3. Stir everything together, then microwave for 2 minutes at 800 watts.

  4. Give it a quick stir and heat for another 30 to 60 seconds, until the porridge reaches your ideal creamy texture.

  5. If you prefer a sweeter touch, stir in a teaspoon of honey after cooking.

For a Little Extra Something

Want to level it up?

Add chopped nuts, a spoonful of almond butter, or fresh fruit on top. Not only will it make your porridge more filling, but it adds a lovely crunch or creaminess depending on what you choose.

This porridge is more than just quick and easy — it’s a morning comfort food that’s good for you, smells like childhood, and helps you start the day with warmth and energy.

Give it a try tomorrow — you might just find your new favorite breakfast.
