🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Oats provide fibre (especially beta-glucan) and slow-release carbohydrate, which can help keep energy steady through the tiring hours of the nursing period. Oats are a grain traditionally favoured among nursing mothers. The grated apple adds natural sweetness and fibre, while a pinch of cinnamon gives a warm aroma; the optional grape molasses adds a small amount of iron. With its warm, soft texture, this porridge can be both a light and a comforting meal.
Maiyko's note
At Maiyko we know that nursing mothers often have very little time for themselves; you can vary this porridge with whatever seasonal fruit you have on hand (pear, stewed quince) and, if you like, scatter a handful of softened dried fruit on top.
