porridge with almond-roasted peaches

This is really easy to make before school while the children are getting dressed. Perfect for a winter morning pick-me-up.

25g/1oz butter

4 peaches, halved, stones removed

25g/1oz soft brown sugar

75g/3oz flaked almonds

100g/4oz porridge oats

600ml/1 pint whole milk

300ml/11fl oz water

1 Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/GM4.

2 Generously butter a small ovenproof dish and arrange the peaches in it, cut side uppermost. It should be quite a snug fit, with the peaches bumping up against each other. Place in the oven and set the timer for 7 minutes.

3 Mix together the soft brown sugar and flaked almonds and put to one side.

4 Put the oats, milk and water into a medium-sized saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring all the time. Turn down the heat and simmer for about 7 minutes until the porridge is thick and creamy.

5 When the oven timer beeps, sprinkle the peaches with the almonds and sugar and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes.

6 Divide the porridge between 4 bowls and arrange 2 peach halves on top of each. Spoon over the syrupy almonds and serve immediately.

Serves: 4 children

Prep time: 20 minutes, depending on ripeness of peaches

Cooking time: 17 minutes
