Warm maple-raisin porridge with spices

Warm maple-raisin porridge with spices is a soothing and hearty breakfast option that's perfect for cozy mornings. This recipe combines the rich flavors of vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg with the sweet and chewy texture of raisins, all completed with a drizzle of maple syrup. Plus, it's made with almond milk, making it a great option for those looking for a dairy-free breakfast.

Ingredients:

1 cup almond milk
240g
1/3 cup oats
50g
1 tbsp vanilla extract
13g
1/4 tsp cinnamon
0.65g
1/4 tsp ginger
0.45g
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
0.26g
1 oz raisins
44g
1 tbsp maple syrup
20g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure measurements are accurate.

2. Heat the Milk: Pour 1 cup of almond milk into a medium-sized saucepan. Heat the milk over medium heat until it starts to bubble gently, but do not let it boil.
3. Add Oats and Spices: Once the milk is heated, add 1/3 cup of oats to the saucepan. Stir in 1/4 tsp of cinnamon, 1/4 tsp of ginger, and 1/8 tsp of ground nutmeg.
4. Simmer the Porridge: Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are tender and the porridge has thickened to your desired consistency.
5. Add Raisins and Sweeteners: Stir in 1 oz of raisins, 1 tbsp of vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp of maple syrup. Continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the raisins to soften and flavors to meld.
6. Serve: Remove the saucepan from heat. Pour the warm porridge into a bowl.
7. Optional Garnishes: If desired, sprinkle additional cinnamon on top or add any other favorite toppings such as chopped nuts or fresh fruit.
8. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, spiced flavor of your homemade maple-raisin porridge.

Tips:

- Toasting the oats for a minute or two in the pot before adding the almond milk can enhance their flavor.

- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste.

- For added texture and nutrition, consider topping your porridge with chopped nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit.

- Using old-fashioned rolled oats will give the porridge a heartier texture compared to instant oats.

- Stir the porridge frequently while cooking to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

- If you prefer a thicker porridge, use less almond milk or cook it a bit longer until it reaches your desired consistency.

This warm and flavorful maple-raisin porridge with spices is a perfect, nourishing start to your day. The combination of aromatic spices, sweet raisins, and creamy almond milk create a comforting dish that will keep you satisfied. Enjoy it on a cold morning or anytime you crave a cozy, delicious breakfast.
