Creamy vanilla zoats! I love porridge for any meal of the day especially when I’m tired and it’s cold outside so I’m always looking for new flavour combinations. I’ve heard a lot about zoats so decided to try them and they did not disappoint! I decided to use vanilla and banana to sweeten the porridge and add a little bit of vegan protein powder for a nutritional boost.
INGREDIENTS:
45g gluten free oats
1 banana
250ml unsweetened almond milk
1 tbsp vegan protein powder (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract
50g courgette
Optional toppings:
1 tbsp hemp seeds
1 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp granola
METHOD:
- Add the almond milk, oats, protein powder and vanilla into a saucepan over a medium heat
- Mash half of the banana and grate the courgette then add both to the saucepan
- Stir continuously for 3-4 minutes to ensure the oats are really creamy, stop when the mixture starts to thicken
- Top with the rest of the banana, sliced, and any other toppings of your choice
