Nothing like a big bowl of oats to get you out of bed on chilly mornings. We took it up a notch with this Pumpkin Spiced Porridge by using chewy steel cut oats, adding chia seeds for extra fibre, and being heavy on the spices for a flavourful, nourishing breakfast with endless topping possibilities.
