Christmas Breakfast Idea- Apple and Cranberry Rice Cooker Porridge


First of all I would like to apologise. Despite my best intentions, I haven't been able to post more. Between starting a summer research job and packing up all of our stuff to move out of our flat I just didn't find the time. However...... to make up for that my aim is to post a festive recipe every day this week.

So to kick it all off, here is a tasty and easy breakfast recipe. Now I don't know about you, but christmas can be pretty chaotic in our kitchen. This year my family is doing things a little more simply. There won't be any big spreads as I will be having Christmas camping-style with hungry male's family and my family are doing a pot luck style finger food lunch with friends.

If you are having a big Christmas dinner, its always nice to have something extremely easy for breakfast to take the pressure off and this recipe is perfect for that. Everything gets thrown into a rice cooker and cooks away while you prepare your turkey, ham or whatever it is you are happy. If you want to make this breakfast special, it is really all about the toppings. Get some delux nuts, yoghurt covered raisins and good quality yoghurt and create a toppings line so that people can customise their own.

This recipe serves 2 but can easily be doubled or tripled (the only restriction is the size of your rice cooker)
