Great idea to use polenta for porridge. I will make this recipe again for sure 🙂

Quick and easy breakfast! I substituted the cherries for a banana, berry jam and a dash of cinnamon. Loved it!

This recipe quickly became my go-to winter breakfast! Love it with all sorts of berries as well!

So easy and delicious! I didn't have frozen cherries, so I used Amarena ones I had in my pantry 🤭😍

Just delicious!

If you like porridges but are tired of oatmeal, try this! You can put any berries on top, but i would highly recommend sticking to cherries! Everything in this recipe comes together beautifully, definitely putting this recipe on rotation!

I first tried this recipe with maize meal as it is more easily available in South Africa and it turned out great. It just needed to cook a bit longer.
It is a very tasty recipe and so easy to substitute the fruit and the porridge.
Kids loved it and will definitely be making it again.

Oh thanks for sharing your experience with the porridge, Karne! We're so happy it was enjoyed with maize. Sending lots of love to South Africa 💛

An indulgent breakfast for a chocolate lover! It is so easy to make, and it is actually versatile in terms of toppings. For the base, I used semolina instead of polenta (similar grain size) and the swap worked very well. I did not need to use maple syrup, as semolina is sweet per se, and I attained a nice consistency with only 250 mL oat milk.
I will definitely try this porridge with cherries, but for now I have tried with canned pears or strawberries. Delicious with the chocolate base, yogurt, chocolate shavings and almond flakes

Mmm such a tasty twist, Louise! We'll be sure to give it a try 🤩

first time i used polenta, it was a really intersting but smooth texture, i like it :)


Tessa - Sept. 15, 2023, 10:28 a.m.

Fantastic indulgent breakfast :)
I did substitute frozen for cherries in a jar and the soy milk for cherry juice from said jar. I think that was a good call :)

This is sooo yummy! It’s a perfect cozy breakfast for a winter morning. ☀️
