Ingredients
- 2 cups of oats
- 2 cups Protein Oat M.lk (or your preferred plant milk) (milk it for all it’s worth!)
- 2 cups water
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder (chocoholic’s dream)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup creamy natural peanut butter
This porridge is basically a hug in a bowl, powered by plant-based goodness and a cheeky splash of peanut butter magic. Whether you’re team vegan or just here to flex your flexitarian skills, these ingredients will have you spooning up smiles in no time!
How to Make It
Making this choc & peanut butter porridge is basically like giving your morning a big, warm hug with a side of chocolatey goodness.
Start by grabbing 2 cups of oats and bringing them to life in a cozy bath of 2 cups of your favorite plant milk (we’re fans of Protein Oat Milk here, but hey, almond, soy, or whatever floats your vegan boat works just fine) plus 2 cups of water. Toss in 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, a teaspoon of vanilla, a teaspoon of cinnamon, and half a teaspoon of salt.
Whisk it all together over medium heat until everything’s mingling nicely and the oats are ready to party at a low boil. Keep the heat low, and let it cook until the liquid is mostly absorbed—about 5 to 6 minutes—because chewy oats are where it’s at.
While your oats are doing their thing, don’t forget the peanut butter. Scoop out a generous ¼ cup of creamy natural peanut butter and zap it in the microwave for about 30 seconds until it’s smooth and drizzly. This is your secret weapon, the silky, nutty star that turns your porridge from “meh” to “heck yes!”
When your oats are done and dandy, dish them up in a bowl and drizzle that melted peanut butter over the top. If you’re feeling extra fancy (or just really love chocolate), throw on some choccie treats or banana slices. Because seriously, why not start your day with a little extra joy?
Vegan mornings don’t get much better than this!
Bonus Tips
- Swap out peanut butter for almond or cashew if you’re feeling nutty but fancy a twist—your porridge, your rules.
- Sprinkle a pinch of chili powder for a sneaky spicy kick that’ll make your morning a little more interesting (and your taste buds dance).
- Double down on the chocolate vibes by stirring in some vegan chocolate chips—because adulting deserves a little sweet rebellion.
