Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Almond milk
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- Fresh or dried fruit (optional for topping)
- Nuts or seeds (optional for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, and water. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Once the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and burning, cooking for about 10-15 minutes or until the oats become soft and creamy.
Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the porridge reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a minute. This will allow the porridge to thicken a little more.
Serve the porridge hot into bowls, adding fresh or dried fruit and nuts or seeds on top as desired.
Enjoy your wholesome, dairy-free creamy porridge for a nutritious breakfast.
