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.
Rolled oats–> quick cooking oats
Peptias + sunflower seeds–> flax seeds, almonds, or any other seeds
Maple syrup–> honey or agave syrup
Chai spices–> any warm spices
