Step up your breakfast cereal game in the morning and make this creamy and delicious porridge recipe. It is the perfect breakfast recipe to double and store in the pantry for an easy recipe for the week.

Why we love this porridge

It’s packed with fiber.

You get healthy fats and protein from pepitas and sunflower seeds.

It’s easy to make this recipe your own and substitute other seeds and nuts.

Ingredients for porridge in small bowls.

Oats: to add a bit of a bite to this porridge we use rolled oats and ground them up a bit.

Pepitas + sunflower seeds: this porridge thickens and gets its delicious texture from ground-up seeds. We prefer raw seeds and nuts, but if you have salted, that’s ok too.

Maple syrup: this porridge recipe is naturally sweetened with a bit of maple syrup.

Chai spices: we call for a chai spice mix or pumpkin pie spices to flavor this porridge, but you can use a combination of your favorite warm spices.

Peptias + sunflower seeds–> flax seeds, almonds, or any other seeds
