Slow cooker Christmas porridge. A perfect breakfast for the kids on Christmas morning. Why not have a go at making your own festive designs?
I decided to get creative in the kitchen last week and came up with this recipe for slow cooker Christmas porridge decorated as reindeer and snowmen using fresh fruit and pretzels. The porridge is made in the slow cooker over-night so this is a perfect no hassle breakfast for the kids on Christmas morning. You could even cut the fruit up the night before and leave it in the fridge.
TOP TIPS FOR MAKING THE SLOW COOKER PORRIDGE
- Add a pinch of cinnamon and grated orange zest to your slow cooker basin, to give it a festive kick.
- The recipe can be doubled to feed a crowd.
- Stir in a spoon of clotted cream when serving to make it extra luxurious.
- Have a go at making different Christmassy designs on top. How about Santa or holly and ivy?
