Breakfast ideas: our 10 recipes

Ah, porridge, does this oat-based breakfast need any introduction? Did you know that rolled oats are rich in carbohydrates but with only a moderate glycaemic index? They are also a source of protein and fibre.

Let’s get cooking!

Here’s what to add to your shopping basket, for one person:

- 45 g rolled oats
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 2 tsp matcha tea powder (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
- 120 ml almond milk (or other plant-based drink)
- 120 ml water

For the topping:

- Peanut butter
- 1 tbsp skyr (or low-fat yoghurt)
- 1/2 banana
- Seasonal fruit or berries of your choice

Method (ready in 15 to 20 minutes):

Place the rolled oats, chia seeds, matcha powder (or
cocoa powder), almond milk and water in a saucepan and cook for around 7 minutes over a low heat,
covered. The texture should be creamy, not too runny or too dry. When the texture is just right, transfer to a bowl.
Topping: top your porridge with sliced banana, berries, a tablespoon of
skyr or yoghurt and a teaspoon of peanut. Breakfast is served!

Here’s what to add to your shopping basket, for 2 people:

- 140 g spelt flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar (or muscovado sugar, or unrefined
cane sugar)
- 30 g coconut oil (or hazelnut oil or a neutral vegetable oil)
- 100 g low-fat fromage frais
- 125 ml almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 egg

For the topping:

- 1 drizzle of maple syrup
- 1 peach, cut into quarters
- Chopped pistachios (optional)

Method (ready in 15 to 20 minutes):

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Beat the egg quickly with a fork and add it to the dry
ingredients. Stir in the melted coconut oil, almond milk, and fromage frais. Heat a small amount of coconut oil in a frying
pan over medium heat then pour in small portions of the batter to form pancakes. When small
bubbles appear on the surface, flip the pancakes and cook for another 30
seconds. Remove and stack on a plate.

Topping: in a frying pan over a low heat, brown the peach quarters with a drizzle of maple syrup until
softened and slightly caramelised. Top the pancakes with the glazed peaches, a little peanut butter and/or chopped pistachios.
