3. Peel the orange with a knife and cut out the segments, catching the juice as you go.

5. Divide the speculoos porridge between two bowls and top with the orange segments and flaked almonds.

Good to know

Speculoos spice turns a simple porridge into an Advent breakfast. The low-fat quark only goes in at the end, so the porridge stays creamy. Orange segments and toasted almonds add freshness and crunch.

Swaps

Low-fat quark → skyr. Milk → oat milk (a little less protein). Honey → maple syrup. Orange → mandarins or pear.

Cooking tips

Only stir in the quark once the pan is off the heat, or it will curdle. If the porridge is too thick, add a splash of milk.
