Ingredients
You will need (for 2 bowls):
- 1 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup of oats
- 1 cardamom pod
- 1 tbsp sugar
- Handful raspberries
Method
Crack open the cardamom and add to the milk in a saucepan. Heat the milk and cardamom very gently for about 20 minutes. Remove the milk from the heat when done.
Put the oats into another saucepan and then sieve the milk into the oats. Cook the oats, stirring often, on a medium heat to the texture that you like; some like it so rubbery you could bounce it and others prefer it very thin. I go for somewhere in between the two.
When the porridge is ready remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sugar. Stir half of the raspberries into the porridge and then put the remaining berries on top. I enjoyed this with a nice cup of tea.
It’s lovely to have the homely smell of warm milk with the spice of cardamom gently wafting through the kitchen as you wake up in the morning. It’s not very complicated which I think is ideal when cooking in the morning; no one wants to dreamily forget that the hob is still hot while leaning on it. The little bit of sugar in the porridge I think makes it even more of a treat and the subtle cardamom is present but not overpowering. The raspberries add a lovely fresh zing of flavour and colour. A slightly different way to start the day.
What a brilliant idea. I’ve made vanilla porridge before, but never tried cardamom.
Weekend breakfasts are the best! This is great for cooler weather!
Nothing like a leisurely weekend breakfast, and that porridge fits the bill for a perfect weekend breakfast!
This oatmeal porridge looks healthy and flavourful. Love the addition of raspberries which makes it look so bright.
Ahhh yum, look at those juicy raspberries. I’m a big fan of porridge, especially in winter, thanks for sharing!
Nice post, great blog, following 🙂
Good Luck 🙂
Great idea, sounds so comforting for a September weekend morning.
So flavoursome and delicious, would love to try it on the weekend to celebrate 🙂

Oh wow. This looks like the perfect breakfast!
Oh how I adore cardamom! This seems so comforting :D!!!!!
This looks delish! I am with you on the weekday vs weekend breakfasts.
Sounds like a delicious way to relax over breakfast.
i’m really becoming a huge fan of cardamom. it’s the most unique spice i’ve ever smelled or tasted, for sure. i can’t seem to describe it properly at all. 🙂
Looks lovely, I have never tried cardamom in porridge before and now I must try this!
Porridge sounds a bit scary – does this mean summer is over? I do like a good bowl of porridge though and flavouring it with raspberries and cardamom is a brilliant idea.
This sounds like a fantastic breakfast for the chilly morning.
Love this idea!!
Gorgeous post Caroline! Such a luxurious and delicious breakfast – love the cardamom!
This porridge has my mouth watering I can almost taste the cardamon and oats!
What a great idea; I can’t wait to try this!
