11 May Golden Porridge with Sprouted Steel Cut Oats (Vegan, Gluten-free, Sugar-free, Oil-free)

I have been busy working on my upcoming book about vegan recipes, as well as some tips on how to run a marathon on a vegan diet. So I prefer having a filling, energising and huge breakfast to fuel me up, so that I can stay focused with improved productivity.

After trying out different breakfast food, this golden porridge is my favorite one that I can’t wait to share the recipe with you, although I was supposed to be proof-reading my book right now 🤪 This porridge is made with steel cut oats (aka my favorite kind of oats). I sprouted them by soaking in water overnight for better digestion and higher nutrition content.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup steel cup oats (soaked in water overnight)
3/4 cup plant milk
1 ripe mango (or banana)
1/2 zucchini (shredded)
1 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Handful of mulberries
1 tsp maca powder
1/2 tsp vanilla powder

Directions:

1. In the morning, drain and rinse the sprouted steel cut oats
2. Place the drained steel cut oats into a pot under medium heat and toast it slightly until they become slightly browned or until you can smell the oats
3. Add plant milk to the pot, stir and mix everything well and bring to a boil
4. Once the oats are boiled, turn the heat to medium low, let it simmer for around 5 minutes until thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot
5. After 5 minutes, add the shredded zucchini, mango chunks, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon and mulberries into the pot, stir well until everything has combined together
6. Let it simmer for another 5-10 minutes until a desired consistency is reached
7. Turn the heat off and stir in maca powder and vanilla bean powder. Give it a final stir and serve with your choice of toppings. I love topping them with passionfruit, berries and persimmon 😃
8. Enjoy!
