In Winter, I love having porridge with warming spices such as ground cinnamon and ginger.
This morning there was a slight feeling of Spring in the air which inspired me to alter my porridge slightly... This was delicious!
Oat, chia, vanilla and coconut porridge
1 cup of rolled oats
2 tablespoons of chia seeds
2 cups of coconut milk or coconut cream
The beans from one vanilla bean, or a pinch of vanilla powder
A pinch of good quality salt (I used celtic sea salt)
2 teaspoons of ghee (more if you like!)
Raw honey to sweeten
Activated almonds, chopped, to serve
Milk of your choice to serve if desired
The night before, cover 1 cup of oats and 2 tablespoons of chia seeds with water and allow to soak overnight.
The next morning give the oat mixture a good stir. Place in a saucepan with the coconut milk/cream and stir occasionally over low heat. Allow to cook slowly until the oats have lost most of their shape. You may need to add more coconut milk/cream or water if it starts to stick. Add vanilla, salt and ghee and stir to combine.
Ladle into bowls. Drizzle with raw honey, pile almonds and serve with your choice of milk if desired.
