There's nothing better than a big bowl of porridge to fuel you for the day ahead and this creation by Aduna Feel Good Triber Rebecca combines three classics - chocolate, coffee and coconut...yum! With two added doses of our super ingredients, it's also full of health and beauty benefits.
Ingredients
For the Porridge
- 2 tbsp Aduna Super Cacao Powder
- 2 tsp Aduna Baobab Powder
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp instant coffee
- 2 tbsp date nectar (or maple syrup/agave nectar)
- 2-3 tbsp desiccated coconut
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tsp milled flaxseed
To Serve (Optional)
- 1 banana
- Handful of whole or flaked almonds
- Desiccated coconut or coconut chips
- Cacao nibs
Method
Combine the coconut milk and coconut oil in a saucepan over a medium-low heat. Whisk in the cacao powder until smooth.
Next, add the instant coffee and date nectar.
Add the desiccated coconut, oats, chia seeds and flaxseed, stirring well to mix everything together. Cook over a low heat for 5-10 minutes, until the oats are your preferred consistency. Stir frequently, adding a little extra water or milk if necessary to keep the porridge from getting too dry. Wait until the very end before adding the baobab powder and stir it in just before serving.
While the oats are cooking, add the handful of whole or flaked almonds to a small pan over a medium heat and toast them, watching very carefully and stirring frequently to avoid burning. Once golden, set aside.
In another small pan, melt 1 tsp of coconut oil and add your banana, sliced lengthwise. Fry over a medium heat, flipping once or twice to keep it from burning. Cook until both sides are golden.
Spoon the porridge into one or two bowls and top with the fried banana and toasted almonds. If desired, pour over a little extra coconut milk and sprinkle with coconut and cacao nibs.
Enjoy!
