Vanilla Almond Milk Porridge With Maple Roasted Pear

Vanilla almond milk porridge with honey roasted pear - smooth, creamy almond milk porridge with soft, juicy maple roast pear, cinnamon & hazelnuts. Vegan.

Almond milk works really well in porridge, especially when paired with vanilla, soft, juicy maple roast pear and a scattering of chopped hazelnuts and cinnamon.

The almond milk gives the porridge a slightly sweet (I used slightly sweetened milk), nutty flavour but it isn't at all overpowering.

Porridge is pretty much my favourite breakfast, it is quick and easy to make, healthy, fills you up, and is infinitely customisable.

I have just given the recipe quantity for a single portion, but it is very easy to multiply it for however many people you are serving. Also, even if it is just yourself you are making it for, it is worth roasting a few pears at once as they will keep in the fridge for a few days and can just be reheated as needed.
