1 serving

30 minutes

This breakfast is a true symphony of flavors and textures, where oatmeal serves as a gentle backdrop for the sweetness of dried fruits and the crunchiness of nuts. The dish is based on traditional European culinary principles, where natural ingredients create a harmony of taste and health benefits. Raisins, apricots, and dried cherries soak in hot water, filling with softness and depth of flavor, while the apple adds a fresh fruity note. Lightly toasted nuts release their aromatic oils, enriching the dish further. This breakfast not only warms and nourishes but also helps to start the day with ease and energy. It is especially suitable for those who appreciate the balance between sweet and healthy. The finishing touch is a spoonful of honey that adds natural sweetness and makes the porridge even cozier.
