This utterly delicious, creamy nut butter porridge will set you up for a day in the saddle as it’s packed with slow-releasing carbohydrate then boosted with protein and healthy fats to keep you going for longer. I love it with smooth organic peanut butter and passion fruit, but it’s fine to use whatever nut butter and fruit combo you prefer
Prep: 2mins

Method
1 Preheat the oven to 160°C/gas mark 3.
2 Combine the oats, almond milk, nut butter, pinch of salt and cinnamon in a saucepan. Slowly bring to the boil, stirring all the time. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 5mins until thick and creamy. You may need to stir in a little extra water if it becomes too thick.
