Classic Vanilla Bean Porridge

Recipe uses: Holistic Hives Vanilla Bean Creamed Honey, Nutworks Maple Pancake Macadamias

We’re all about making life a little sweeter and a lot more delicious - both through the thoughtful gifts in our hampers and the recipes we create to enjoy them to the fullest! This week, we’re excited to share a simple yet heavenly breakfast idea: Classic Vanilla Bean Porridge. Not only is it comforting and satisfying, but it’s also a perfect way to showcase some of the delightful goodies found in our hampers.

The Ingredients You’ll Need To whip up this warm, cozy bowl of goodness, you’ll need:

• 1 cup quick oats

• 1.5 cups full cream milk

• 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract

For the toppings, we’ve curated some of our favourite hamper treats to take this porridge to the next level:

• Mixed berry toppings or banana slices (or both—why choose?)

• 1 tablespoon Holistic Hives Vanilla Bean Creamed Honey

• A handful of Nutworks Maple Pancake Macadamias

The Steps to Breakfast Bliss

1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the quick oats, full cream milk, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together.

2. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes or until the oats are soft and creamy.

3. Pour the porridge into a bowl and let your creativity shine with the toppings: add a swirl of Holistic Hives Vanilla Bean Creamed Honey, a sprinkling of Nutworks Maple Pancake Macadamias for crunch, and a generous helping of mixed berries or banana slices.

Why We Love It This Classic Vanilla Bean Porridge is more than just a breakfast - it’s an experience. The rich vanilla flavour from the honey perfectly complements the creamy oats, while the macadamias add a delightful crunch and the fresh fruits provide a burst of natural sweetness. Together, it’s a symphony of flavours and textures that will have you looking forward to mornings.
