Pear & Raspberry Porridge

If you're anything like me I'm constantly on the lookout for healthy breakfast options for not only myself but my kids, particularly something they love!

I set out to prove to my husband wrong who believes that porridge is not porridge unless it's been topped with a generous sprinkling of brown sugar. My aim was to create a topping that was mildly sweet but also nutritious

I've been experimenting for a while now and have finally come up with a recipe that is low in sugar and super tasty. This is a thermomix version but is very simple to convert to normal use!
