If your Elf is planning on serving up a North Pole breakfast this year, this recipe for Christmas porridge from the very talented Beth Sachs is perfect.

In case you're wondering what a North Pole breakfast is, it's a special (and, most importantly, delicious) Christmas-themed breakfast prepared for you by your visiting elves.

North Pole breakfasts can appear any day throughout December, but lots of elves like to whip them up when they first arrive on December 1. It's always nice when house guests arrive with a gift for the host!

Christmas porridge is the ideal addition to the North Pole breakfast. It's easy to prepare, but is also completely delicious (and healthy too).

Beth creates wonderful and delicious recipes on her website Jam & Clotted Cream – and as a mum of three littlies, she also knows a thing or two about cooking with kids!
