Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (e.g., blueberries or strawberries)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let the porridge simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened to your liking.
Once the porridge reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and stir in the pure maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
Divide the porridge into serving bowls and top each with sliced almonds and a generous portion of fresh berries.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your heart-healthy, creamy oats porridge.
