Instructions

  • First combine the coconut milk, water cacao, and vanilla in a medium sized saucepan and bring to the boil.
  • Once boiled stir in the cacao powder and vanilla extract.
  • Reduce the heat to medium then pour in the oats in intervals while stirring to avoid any lumps from forming.
  • Allow the porridge to cook for roughly 5-7 minutes, stirring throughout the given time to prevent it from sticking, add a splash of water if the porridge thickens too much, If you are using rolled or steel cut oats then cook for much longer (see post)
  • Once the porridge is done, drizzle in the sweetener of choice and to taste.
  • Serve accordingly and drizzle with almond butter and garnish with a banana, shredded coconut and cacao nibs.

Notes

  • If you are sensitive to trace contamination, make sure to use oats that are certified as "gluten free".
  • Feel free to sweeten the porridge with some Vegan Condensed Milk in place of syrup
  • This recipe made with a high ratio of coconut milk which yields a creamy porridge. If don't want a creamy porridge then use more water than milk.
  • Use Almond milk if you don't like the taste of coconut milk or Cashew Milk works too.
  • If the porridge thickens up once cool or left for the next day simply add a splash of water/milk and stir it up.
