It’s no secret, porridge is one of our all time favorite recipes. It is incredible versatile and you can jazz it up with all sorts of toppings, from fresh seasonal fruits to crunchy nuts and creamy nut butters. Apart from being delicious, porridge is your ally if you want to increase your dietary fiber intake! Given the impressive heath benefits associated with fiber, we wouldn’t think twice and add this recipe to the shopping list!
As we spend a couple of months in Portugal, traveling as digital nomads, we mainly cook recipes that are quick and require few ingredients and kitchen utensils. This recipe is the perfect candidate when traveling from this point of view. It is incredible nutritious, it doesn’t take more than 10 - 15 minutes to make, 5 wholesome ingredients and a saucepan! Moreover, you can swap the plantain for bananas or even apples.
The caramelised Plantain Porridge is super creamy and the flavor profile is amazing, an infusion of caramel, plantain and cinnamon. On top of all, it is refined sugar free!
Tips: - You can use any type of plant based milk and even water. I prefer to use soy milk to take advantage of the extra proteins. - If the oatmeal is to thick, simply add more liquid until it reaches your desired consistency. - It is perfectly fine to use bananas instead of plantain. If your mornings are too busy, you can prepare the oatmeal in advance and then simply reheat it with a splash of water/milk.
