This recipe was inspired simply because I LOVE porridge for breakfast in winter and I also LOVE chocolate! Steel-cut oats are high in protein and fibre and have a lower glycemic index then instant oats, helping to sustain your energy levels for longer. Cinnamon adds to the warming nature of this dish and the raw cacao is packed with minerals and antioxidants. This brekkie is bound to get you going for the day! :)
Serves 1-2
1/3 cup Steel-cut oats (local health food store)
1 3/4 cup of water
pinch cinnamon
1/2 mashed banana, 1/2 chopped to serve
1 Tbs raw cacao
1 Tbs ground flax seeds
1 Tbs sunflower seeds
Stevia or maple syrup to sweeten
Your choice of milk to serve (rice, soy, almond, cow's)
Combine oats and water in a pot over low heat, bring to the boil, turn down and simmer for 15-20 minutes until thick and creamy (as it thickens you may need to stir it so it doesn't stick). Remove from heat and stir in cinnamon, mashed banana, raw cacao, flax and sunflower seeds. Sweeten with stevia or maple syrup. Pour into a bowl and drizzle with milk and top with remaining banana. YUM!
NB. I recommend soaking all grains before cooking them - This will not only reduce cooking time but also aid digestion. The night before place the oats and water in a jar with a squeeze of lemon juice. The next morning place content of jar into a saucepan and cook as directed above.
