We are supposed to be in the middle of spring and everyone else has moved onto smoothie breakfasts, however, I’m still stuck on oats because being honest, 9 degrees Celsius isn’t my idea of warm enough. I am happy to do smoothie bowl breakfasts or overnight oats when we hit double digit temperatures. Who else agrees?

For my oats breakfast porridge today, I decided to keep it classic with this original porridge recipe – no superfoods added. Some days, it’s nice to just keep it simple.

To compensate, I added kiwi fruit, red grapes, banana and blueberries because you all know how much I love colour.

I finally added my very own breakfast topping that I’ve created which you can buy in my store:

Breakfast Topper – Chia Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Flaxseed, Cacao Nibs, Coconut, Almond Flakes, Dates & Walnuts Mix 160g

 

This wonderful porridge topping is a mix of seeds, nuts, fruits, coconut and cacao nibs. In particular, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flaxseed, almond flakes, walnuts, chopped dates, desiccated coconut, cacao nibs. No need to fumble around, simply pour on top of your breakfast and you’re ready to go.

 

I cooked my oatmeal with water rather than milk because I don’t like it creamy. Hence, this is vegan. You can also add plant-based milk if you want to make it creamier and are vegan. Use oat milk to keep the flavour classic, or use other plant-based milks such as almond, hazelnut or cashew nut milk to add a wonderful flavour to this porridge.
