This Vegan Brownie Porridge is perfect to satisfy my chocolate cravings while nourishing my body with healthy nutrients.
Since I was told that having dessert for breakfast wasn’t the best way to start the day 😉 I decided to give my healthy breakfast some dessert’s touches here and there. This intense and almost gooey chocolate porridge really taste like a brownie. Except that it is a very nutritious one that fills me up rather than me reaching for more.
This porridge is very easy to make, you can choose to make it with Gluten-Free Oats. I like the Nairns Gluten-Free Scottish Porridge Oats which make the creamiest porridge!
Issue Digesting Oats?
You don’t need to soak your oats prior to making this porridge, I usually add some boiling water and stir for a few seconds, and this does the trick! However, if you experience issues digesting oats, I would then highly recommend you soak them overnight or at least a couple of hours.
Hazelnut Milk
My milk of choice for this recipe is hazelnut milk, I just love the combination of chocolate and hazelnuts probably because I used to love Nutella and this reminds me of it a little! Feel free to choose any dairy-free milk you like, the Barista blend by Oatly works very well too as it makes the porridge extra creamy.
I have added some maca powder to this recipe for its subtle caramel flavour. This is optional and you can absolutely do without it.
Benefits of Maca Powder
Instead of reaching for the artificial protein powder while not add some maca powder instead? Maca is a Peruvian plant that has been cultivated for thousands of years. One tablespoon contains more than 20 amino acids, helping your body tissue to repair among many other benefits. Maca is known to increase energy without the negative side effect that caffeine, for instance, can have. Maca is also a great source of minerals including potassium and calcium, as well as some B vitamins – Source
