How to Make Apricot Lemon Scented Oatmeal Porridge

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine ½ cup rolled oats, 1 cup water or milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1 tablespoon apricot nectar, and ½ teaspoon lemon zest.
  2. Microwave on high for 1 minute.
  3. Stir well to combine. Microwave for another 30-45 seconds, or until desired consistency is reached. If using milk instead of water, you may need slightly less cooking time.
  4. Top with 2 tablespoons vanilla yogurt and an optional sprinkle of extra lemon zest for an extra zing!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
