Method

  • step 1

    Blend half the oats and the dates in a food processor until you have a thick paste, adding a splash of milk to help the blades go round if necessary. Scrape the mixture into a saucepan and add the rest of the oats, 500ml milk, the cacao and a pinch of salt. Stir well and set over a low-medium heat.

  • step 2

    Stir the porridge every now and then for the next 5-10 mins, until it’s thick and creamy – add a splash more milk if you prefer a looser consistency. Serve with a dollop of yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup, if you like.

Way too much liquid in this. It doesn't need more than 600ml in total, i.e. half what's specified.

Delicious but yoghurt is necessary with it, as I found it quite rich for the morning. Children didn't like it. But I would make it again, a nice treat.

Looks very nice but I’m perplexed as to why this recipe features in the “ Low-carb breakfasts” collection.

Delicious and easy to make. I found it very filling. It didn’t need much maple syrup as the dates add some natural sweetness. Will definitely make again.

Very nice with a lovely pudding consistency because of processing the dates, oats and milk. The calorie count is low, though, because the portions are tiny! I’d say this is more like 2 generous/3 normal portions, not 4, if you want it to see you through until lunchtime, or add some nuts/ground…
