Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (such as blueberries or sliced strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, unsalted)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, water, and unsweetened almond milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the oats are tender and the mixture reaches your desired creamy consistency, keeping it stirred to prevent sticking.
Stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon, then remove the saucepan from heat.
Divide the porridge into two serving bowls.
Drizzle with honey and top with fresh berries and optional chopped nuts.
Serve warm and enjoy your low-sodium creamy classic porridge.
