Quick Vanilla Porridge

November 18, 2015

Quick Vanilla Porridge - plant based, dairy-free, gluten-free, refined sugar-free - heavenlynnhealthy.comI’m sorry for this super short recipe description, but I just did not have time to write a whole lot this week. As some of you know, I’ve started my Masters a few weeks ago, and it has already kept me busy, especially since I am also trying to work full time for the family business. Anyway, no excuses, there is always time for food. Especially now, when days get darker and the temperatures get colder I need a proper breakfast in order to be productive throughout the entire day. Now that does not mean that I have a huge amount of time to prepare it in the morning. In fact, I am a strong believer that breakfast can be prepared quickly without having to sacrifice on nourishment or goodness. Porridge is a great way to make a highly nutritious breakfast in no time. This quick vanilla porridge literally takes 3 minutes to prepare. Everybody has 3 minutes in the morning, right? The porridge needs another 10 minutes to sit, during which you can get ready for the day, because you don’t even have to watch it. Those of you following me on Instagram have probably noticed my addiction to coconut porridge in the morning. Well, I still love coconut porridge, but oh man, this vanilla porridge has great potential to become my next big thing. Vanilla is just perfect for this time of the year, especially now that we are getting closer and closer to Christmas. It is so comforting and really warms you from the inside.

I buy my vanilla powder in a jar, but you can also use traditional vanilla pods if you like. I know that vanilla is not the cheapest, but a little jar of vanilla powder lasts me for many months, and the flavor is definitely worth it. If you love porridge and vanilla, then you are going to love this one. Trust me on this.

    Das sieht so gut aus! Mit Vanille habe ich meinen Porridge bisher noch gar nicht gemacht. Das muss sich ändern 🙂

    Hello! I used rolled oats because I have them on hand. I know they cook quickly compared to some other oats. I wasn’t sure if I needed to reduce the heat or remove the pan from heat after adding the ingredients and letting it sit. They turned out thicker than the photograph with no excess liquid. What oats best suit this recipe? Could you please clarify the last step? Thanks!

      Hi Kaitlyn, thanks for pointing on this unclarity. Here in Germany we only have two types of oats: whole and delicate. I used delicate oats which are similar to rolled oats in the US. Perhaps you would need a little more liquid with the American rolled oats if yours turned out too thick. I tried the recipe again this morning and I found that I had to re-heat the oats again, so I added this step to the instructions.
      Best,
      Lynn
