- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine steel-cut oats, water, and unsweetened almond milk. Stir well to mix.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer. Stir in the chia seeds and ground flaxseeds.
Add the salt and cinnamon, and continue to cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats are tender and the porridge is creamy.
If the porridge becomes too thick, add a splash more almond milk until the desired consistency is reached.
To serve, divide the porridge into bowls and top each with sliced banana, berries, and chopped walnuts.
Enjoy this heart-healthy, creamy porridge warm, knowing you're starting your day with a nutritious, heart-friendly meal.
