Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free oats
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup fresh fruits (such as berries or sliced bananas)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the gluten-free oats, water, milk, and salt.
Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reached your desired consistency.
Stir in the cinnamon, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the porridge sit for a minute to thicken slightly.
Divide the porridge into two bowls and top with fresh fruits and chopped nuts if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy a creamy, comforting, gluten-free breakfast.
