Ingredients
Base Ingredients

- 20g tigernut flour
- 200-250ml plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat, or coconut) Im using soymilk as preferenz
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp. ground flaxseeds
- 2-3 vanilla flavored drops
Optional Add-Ins
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (for warmth)
- 1 tsp chia seeds (for even more fiber)
- 1 tbsp nut butter (for creaminess and protein)
- 30 protein powder (more water or plant-based milk will be needed!!!)

How to Make the Best Vegan Porridge
- Combine Ingredients
In a small saucepan, combine the oats, tigernut flour, flaxseeds, plant-based milk, and a pinch of salt and the flavored vanilla drops. Stir well to combine and try. If you need more sweet, add accordingly your preferences. - Cook Slowly
Cook over low to medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Allow the oats to simmer gently for 5–7 minutes, or until they reach your desired creaminess. Add more plant-milk if you feel the consistency is getting to dry. - Add Flavor
Stir in optional add-ins like cinnamon, chia seeds, or nut butter during the last minute of cooking for an extra flavor and nutrient boost. - Serve Hot
Transfer the porridge to a bowl and let it sit for a minute to thicken. - Top It Off
Get creative with your toppings! Add fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, and a drizzle of syrup for a breakfast masterpiece.
Tips for the Perfect Porridge
- Rolled Oats: For more best texture, choose rolled oats instead of quick oats. Steel-cut oats can also be used but require longer cooking.
- Quick Oats: If you like a finer consistency, choose quick oats, they will cook quicker as rolled oats. For me, it gives you a slightly creamer texture.
- Low and Slow: Cooking on low heat ensures a creamy consistency without burning.
- Adjust Sweetness: Sweeten naturally with fruits or maple syrup, and adjust to your taste.
Why this Vegan Porridge Is a Game-Changer
Not only is this vegan porridge incredibly easy to make, but it’s also a powerhouse of nutrients. Oats provide fiber and slow-releasing energy, while the plant-based milk adds creaminess without dairy. The best part? It’s completely customizable to suit your cravings and dietary preferences.
