Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day.
For me, it's porridge, as I see it as a delicious and comforting meal. It also fill me up and provides energy that keeps me going for hours. I might not be a sweet tooth person, but I'll add a bit of sweetness via toppings.
But for those wishing to try a breakfast meet dessert meal, try carrot cake porridge. It's healthy, and does not take long to prepare.
