Syyspuuro, or September Porridge, is a traditional Finnish breakfast dish that is typically eaten in the fall and winter months when fresh berries and apples are in season. This version of the porridge is made with rolled oats, fresh cranberries (or lingonberries), diced apples, warming cinnamon, and a touch of vanilla for extra flavor. It is a hearty and comforting breakfast that is perfect for those chilly mornings when you need something to warm you up from the inside out. Top it with your favorite fruits or nuts for added crunch and nutrition.

Instructions

1.	Combine the water, cranberries (or lingonberries), sugar, and apples in a large saucepan.
2.	Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook until the berries burst and the apples are tender, about 10 minutes.
3.	Add the rolled oats, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla (if using) and stir well to combine.
4.	Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the porridge thickens and the oats are tender, about 20 minutes.

PROS

September Porridge is a delicious and filling breakfast option that is perfect for the colder months.

The combination of oats, fruit, and warming spices make it a comforting and satisfying meal.

It is also easy to customize by adding your favorite fruits or toppings.

CONS

As with any sweet breakfast food, September Porridge is high in sugar and should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Some people may not enjoy the texture of cooked oats.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

September Porridge is a good source of fiber, which can improve digestion and help you feel full for longer periods of time.
The cranberries (or lingonberries) are also high in antioxidants, which can help protect your body against damaging free radicals.
