Berry and Coconut Mieliepap Breakfast Bowl
https://foodloversmarket.co.za/recipes/berry-coconut-mieliepap-bowl/
Mieliepap, also known as maize meal, is a quintessential South African breakfast. Mieliepap can either be made into a pap porridge for breakfast, or it can be made into pap or ‘krummelpap’ served with braaied meat and tomato relish. For many South Africans, this is a childhood classic, but we tweaked it with a bit of luscious coconut cream and more nutritious ingredients for a balanced breakfast, like Macadamia nut butter, chia seeds, coconut flakes, and fresh seasonal fruits.
Top with any seasonal fruits of your choice.
