PREPARATION

  • Start by taking the berries out of the freezer and reserving 1 cup in a bowl to defrost while you prepare the porridge. To help the process, cover berries with hot water.
  • Boil water on a kettle… or by traditional means.
  • In a medium size pan, place the oats, water, organic creamed coconut**  and pinch of salt.
  • Add twocups of hot water
  • Stir the mix and cook in medium heat, stirring constantly until creamy (around 7-10 minutes, depending on oats and heat).

** In case the creamed cocounut has turned hard due to low temprature, place the pack in a cup with water in order to melt.

NOTE: Stop cooking your porridge when it is at your favourite consistency. I like my porridge to be very creamy, almost like baby food! James, on the other hand, prefers a more solid texture. If you are sharing your porridge, I suggest you come to a previous agreement on the consistency not to spoil the pleasurable indulgent moment of eating this heavenly creamy porridge! 😉

TOPPING

  • Pour porridge into bowl and place berries on the top. (If there is too much water as a result of defrosting, keep the liquid in a cup. It makes a delicious berry juice!)
  • Add the organic creamed coconut on the sides of the bowl, while the porridge is still hot, so that it melts and spreads around the bowl (see photo).
  • Sprinkle top with Chia seeds.
  • For a bit if extra healthy sweetness, add some date syrup or maple syrup.
