Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any sugar-free milk of choice)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds (optional for added thickness and nutrition)
- Fresh berries or sliced banana (optional for topping)
- Nuts or seeds (optional for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and almond milk. Stir well to combine and ensure oats are submerged.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.
Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and add the salt and ground cinnamon. Stir to distribute spices evenly.
Simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are cooked and the porridge has thickened to your desired consistency. If you prefer a thicker texture, you can add the chia seeds at this stage.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the porridge sit for a minute to thicken up slightly more if you have added chia seeds.
Divide the creamy porridge into two bowls.
Top with fresh berries, sliced banana, nuts, or seeds as desired, and serve warm.
