Maple Toasted Coconut and Wild Blueberry Porridge
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1-2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp coconut flakes
- 2 Tbsp dried wild blueberries
- 1 Tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 cup almond milk
Preparation
Soak the rolled oats in filtered water for at least a few hours before cooking.
Cook the soaked oats with almond milk until thickened.
Optionally, lightly toast the coconut flakes in a dry pan for 2 minutes.
Add dried wild blueberries to the cooking porridge or prepare a compote by cooking them with boiling water and syrup.
Top the prepared porridge with maple syrup, toasted coconut flakes, and hemp seeds.
Tips
When purchasing oats, look for organic, wheat-free varieties in health food aisles.
Beta-glucan in oats lowers cholesterol and enhances immune response to bacterial infections.
Limit servings to 1/2 cup to avoid bloating, especially for those with IBS.
