Apricot and Orange Baked Protein Porridge (Video Version)

Apricot and Orange Baked Protein Porridge

Last year I made an Orange and Ginger Baked Protein Porridge that I thought I would try another orange inspired baked porridge. Baking porridge is a great way to get breakfast on the table with ease. On the morning I ate this porridge we went to see Paddington 3 at the cinema. Paddington love marmalade and this porridge tastes just like a marmalade sandwich. I really enjoyed my breakfast and the film too. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Apricot and Orange Baked Protein Porridge

Apricot and Orange Baked Protein Porridge was a tasty was to start my day. It was easy to prepare and cook. The porridge was slightly time consuming to cook so I would recommend getting up early to cook it. Or you could make the porridge and freeze it for another occasion. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
