Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (or plant-based milk)
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 banana, sliced
- 0.5 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans), chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, until the oats are creamy and cooked through.
Stir in the chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup). Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the seeds to slightly thicken the porridge.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the porridge cool for a minute. This helps it thicken further and ensures all flavors are well combined.
Divide the porridge into two bowls. Top each serving with sliced banana, mixed berries, and chopped nuts.
For added texture and flavor, drizzle a little extra honey or maple syrup on top, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Super Porridge packed with energy and nutrients!
