Quick and Creamy Whole Grain Porridge

This quick whole grain porridge is more of a guideline than a recipe. Choose your whole grain, nuts, seeds, fruits, optional sweetener, optional add-ins, add it all to a saucepan and heat until warm and creamy. If desired, top with berries, sliced banana or a spoonful of almond butter and enjoy.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cooked of either quinoa amaranth, teff or brown rice
  • 2 tbsp sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds or hemp seeds
  • 2 tbsp walnuts, almonds, cashews or pecans
  • 2 tbsp dates, raisins or cranberries
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey optional
  • 1/2 apple, diced optional

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a saucepan on the stove. Heat over medium heat, adding a bit of extra milk if needed to reach a porridge consistency.
  • Warm over medium heat until heated through and everything is nice and soft and creamy. Scoop into a bowl and enjoy.

Notes

  1. This can easily be double or tripled if needed. You really can't go wrong and there's not need to follow the recipe exactly. Use about 1/2 cup of cooked whole grains per person plus any add-ins you desire. Add enough milk to cover, warm it all up in a pot then pour into a bowl and enjoy! This can be made ahead of time and taken to go if needed.
