Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats the foundation of a creamy porridge
  • 2 cups soy milk for a creamy, dairy-free base
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter smooth or crunchy, depending on your preference
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds optional, for added fiber and omega-3s
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional, for natural sweetness
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon for warmth and spice
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract to enhance the natural flavors
  • Fresh fruit optional, for topping

Method
 

  1. Combine the oats and soy milk: In a medium saucepan, add the rolled oats and soy milk. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. As the oats begin to absorb the liquid, you’ll notice them soften and thicken. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the peanut butter and spices: Once the oats are tender and have thickened to your liking, stir in the peanut butter, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. The peanut butter will melt into the oats, giving it a creamy, nutty flavor. You’ll also notice the texture becoming even richer and silkier.
  3. Stir in chia seeds (optional): If you’re using chia seeds, now is the time to add them. Stir them in, and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. The chia seeds will absorb some of the liquid, adding a bit more texture to the porridge.
  4. Taste and adjust: Taste the porridge and add maple syrup if you like a sweeter breakfast. You can also add a pinch more cinnamon if you enjoy a spicier flavor.
  5. Serve: Once the porridge has reached your desired consistency, spoon it into bowls. If you prefer a thicker porridge, let it sit for a few minutes to allow it to firm up slightly.
  6. Top with fresh fruit: Add your favorite fresh fruit on top of the porridge. Bananas, berries, or apples work wonderfully. You can also sprinkle on some nuts or seeds for an extra crunch.
  7. Enjoy: Serve the porridge warm and enjoy the comforting, creamy goodness of this protein-packed breakfast.

Notes

  • Customize the sweetness: Feel free to adjust the sweetness of your porridge by adding more maple syrup or honey, depending on your preference.
  • Thickening or thinning: If you like your porridge thicker, let it simmer a little longer; if it’s too thick, simply add a splash more soy milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • Adding protein: If you want to boost the protein even further, you can stir in some protein powder after the porridge is cooked, ensuring it’s fully incorporated.
