Ingredients

  • 1 cup orange juice (236ml)
  • 4 tablespoon maple syrup (80g)
  • 2 cups plant based milk (475ml)I like to use cashew or almond for this recipe
  • 1 cup oats (81g)(rolled or quick)
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries (30g)(optional)
  • cranberry sauce (for serving)

Instructions

  • In a medium sized saucepan, add the orange juice, maple syrup and plant based milk then bring to a boil.
  • Once boiled, reduce the heat to medium and pour the oats into the saucepan while continuously stirring so the oats are evenly combined and doesn't clump together.
  • Allow the porridge to cook for 5-7 (rolled oats will take 10-15) minutes and stir frequently to avoid sticking.
  • If the porridge thickens up too much during the given time add a orange juice or milk.
  • Finally, add any dried cranberries and continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve in a bowl and add a dollop or two of the cranberry sauce.

Notes

  • The porridge may thicken some more as it cools down so feel free to add some additional liquid to loosen it up.
  • Feel free to use whenever plant based milk you prefer. 
  • I recommend using a creamy plant based milk such as Almond Milk, Cashew Milk or Brazil Nut Milk.
  • Oats are naturally gluten free but if you are sensitive to trace/cross contamination then it is advised to purchase oats which are labelled "gluten free".
  • This is the recipe that you will need to make my homemade cranberry sauce.
  • Feel free to add any nuts or seeds to your topping.
