Oat and Red Lentil Porridge
The perfect meal for breakfast to boost up your energy levels and support your well-being as you maintain an active morning or daily routine.
Ingredients:
70g red lentils
70g old fashioned oats
45g nut butter or preferred nut butter
50ml raw honey
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
1/4 tsp fine pink salt or sea salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
500 ml warm water or warm milk
Directions:
Pour the red lentils in a sieve and wash under running water until the water runs clear.
Pour it in a saucepan together with all the remaining ingredients - oats, nut butter, cinnamon powder, salt, vanilla extract and warm water - except the honey.
Stir well and cook on medium to high heat for 6 - 7 minutes, stirring every now and again to prevent the contents from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
Cover with a lid and turn off heat.
Leave covered and undisturbed for another 5 minutes until oats and lentil are softened and well cooked and the porridge thickens.
Stir in the honey and serve with a sprinkle of pumpkin and hemp seeds. Feel free to add in a scoop of yogurt for a cooling effect.
