Chamomile and Maple Porridge
Print Recipe
We have a confession to make: We’re not really “breakfast people.” We’re more like “hit snooze twice people.” But this recipe for chamomile and maple porridge from Megan Hallett and Nicole Jardim’s cookbook, The Happy Balance, just might be the routine changer we’ve been searching for. It’s filling, nourishing and ready in just 15 minutes.
“This is my way of finding a moment of peace and serenity in the morning,” Hallett writes. “Chamomile is known as the ultimate soother, often drunk in hot tea at bedtime. However, there are no rules stating it can’t be enjoyed at other times, and it is a lovely way of incorporating a bit of calm into your morning routine.”
That’s it. We’re officially “breakfast people.”
