OATS AND CHIA PORRIDGE

This Oats and Chia Porridge is a nutritious, creamy, and filling breakfast choice, packed with fibre, omega-3 fatty acids, and complex carbs to fuel your morning. The combination of oats and chia seeds creates a naturally thick texture, while almond milk keeps it light and dairy-free. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness, complemented by warm cinnamon. Optional sliced bananas on top add extra creaminess and natural sugar. Easy to prepare in under 10 minutes, this porridge is perfect for busy mornings or a cosy weekend breakfast. Enjoy it warm or chilled and customise with your favourite toppings to make each bowl uniquely yours.

PREPARATION

  • Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, add the oats, chia seeds, almond milk and cinnamon. Stir well to combine.
  • Cook Porridge: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent the oats from sticking to the pan. Allow it to cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened.
  • Sweeten: Once the porridge reaches your desired consistency, stir in the honey or maple syrup for a hint of sweetness. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  • Serve: Pour the porridge into a bowl. Top with optional banana slices and a sprinkle of extra cinnamon, if desired. Enjoy warm for a comforting start to your day.

TIPS FOR OATS AND CHIA PORRIDGE

  • Prevent Lumps: Stir frequently while cooking to prevent lumps and ensure a creamy texture.
  • Adjust Thickness: Adjust the thickness by adding more almond milk if the porridge becomes too thick.
  • Oat Texture: Use rolled oats for a thicker texture or quick oats if you prefer a smoother consistency.
  • Enhance Sweetness: Add a pinch of salt while cooking to enhance the sweetness naturally without extra sugar.

VARIATIONS

  • Fruit Swap: Replace banana with other fruits like berries, apple slices or diced mango for a seasonal twist.
  • Nut Butter: Add a tablespoon of nut butter for extra creaminess and healthy fats.
  • Protein Boost: Boost protein content by stirring in a scoop of protein powder after cooking.
  • Crunchy Topping: For a crunchier texture, add a sprinkle of granola, chopped nuts or seeds just before serving.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store leftover porridge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat with a splash of almond milk or water to reach desired consistency.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as the oats and chia may change texture after freezing and thawing.
