How To Make Simple Gluten-Free and Vegan Porridge

How To Make Gluten-Free and Vegan Porridge.

Intro

Hello everybody! For this week’s post, I am sharing my recipe for How To Make Gluten-Free and Vegan Porridge.

Porridge is one of those foods that is a classic staple for a reason. It is simple to make with very few base ingredients. (My easy recipe uses 3 ingredients only!) As long as you have oats and some type of milk/ milk substitute, you can make a delicious bowl of porridge.

If you are looking for a low-fuss breakfast or maybe snack to help power you through the day, then look no further! This is one of my favourite go-to breakfasts to make. It is easy to make one serving or even a large batch in one go!

Let’s get onto the recipe.

Looking for an oats brand to use?

I have taken a picture of the gluten-free oats that I used. I used the Nairn brand, which has always worked well for me. Feel free to use whatever brand of gluten-free oats that you like. (Just to note, this is not an advertisement. This is a genuine opinion of mine.)

Storage

The porridge can potentially last for around 4-5 days, if stored in the fridge in an airtight container. If placed in the freezer and frozen properly, you can freeze the porridge for potentially 3 months.

Additionally, this is just guidance. Trust your instincts and be cautious. So, if it looks a bit dodgy, you don’t like the look of it or if it has been out for a while, then unfortunately, I think that is one for the bin. When it comes to cooking and baking a bit of common sense will go a long way. It is always better to be safe than sorry. When storing always use an air-tight container, otherwise these times do not apply.

Is porridge good for weight loss?

The answer is yes. Plain porridge is easy to metabolise, is low in calories and has a low glycaemic index.

Plain porridge is very healthy. Oats are a healthy source of protein and fibre, they even contain important minerals like manganese, magnesium and zinc.

For the healthiest version of this recipe, do not include the golden syrup! (That said, always consult a doctor or medical professional when considering a change in your diet for weight loss.)
