INGREDIENTS
  

  • ¾ cup regular or nondairy milk
  • ½ cup coconut milk, if you want your porridge extra creamy don't skip this, but it's optional
  • 1-2 tablespoon high-quality cocoa powder
  • cup oats gluten-free if desired
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • toppings of your choice
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Add the milk to a pot and bring to a simmer. Add in the oats and a teaspoon of salt and cinnamon.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally for the porridge not to stick to the bottom of the pot. Stir until the oats are creamy and have absorbed the liquid, about 5-8 minutes.
  • Add a little more liquid if needed. I usually add more because I like more liquid-y looking porridge.
  • Stir in cocoa powder, maple syrup (or leave it to drizzle on top later), vanilla, and coconut milk.  Remove from the heat and cover for 2 minutes.
  • Transfer to your favorite serving bowls and decorate with plenty of toppings, butter, pear butter, peanut butter, fruits and more.

NOTES

Coconut milk - if you want your porridge extra creamy don't skip this, but it's optional.
Toppings - My favorite toppings for this recipe are: raspberry or blackberry jam/marmalade, sliced banana, dark chocolate chips, warm peanut butter, almond flakes, and dried raspberry sprinkles.
