Notes

For different flavors, swap pears for apples or bananas, and substitute quinoa with oats for a creamier texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of milk. Enhance your porridge by experimenting with various spices or using seasonal fruits for a fresh twist.
