My new favorite breakfast/dessert is here : ) It’s a bit more time-consuming but definitely worth it! This porridge consists of 4 different layers: Porridge, yoghurt, biscuits and peanut butter. The biscuits provid a bit of a crunch to the porridge which I really love and brings porridge to a new level. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Oats:
Rolled oats are a local superfood. Oats are also considered the most valuable grain in our diet. The fibre and complex carbohydrates make oats a superstar. The grain is grown as seed oats and is one of our staple foods. Rolled oats are a whole grain because they are made from the whole grain and only non-edible parts are removed.
Basic Health facts
40 grams of oats contain 0.3 mg of vitamin B1, which would cover a quarter of the daily requirement. No other grain has such a high B1 content as oats. And even among the Pseudo-cereals, only amaranth can surpass oats in terms of B1 – but only just.
Vitamin B1, together with B6, is THE nerve vitamin par excellence, so that a deficiency can manifest itself in dizziness, insomnia, fatigue and neurological disorders (e.g. neuritis).
Oats meet dessert
Ingredients
Porridge Layer
- 1 banana
- 20 g oats
- 80 ml plant based milk I used oat milk
- 1 tsp salted caramel/vanilla protein powder or use 1 tsp agave/maple syrup + 1 pinch of salt
Yoghurt Layer
- 175 g plant based Joghurt I used coconut yoghurt because of it's thickness
- ⅛ tsp vanilla grounded
- 1 tsp agave syrup
Others
- 25 g (butter)cookies (Butterkekse in German)
- 25 g peanut butter You can use of course more if you want!
Instructions
- Mash ½ banana and put it into a saucepan with the 20g oats, 80ml plant based milk and 1tsp protein powder and let it simmer over a medium heat for a few minutes, stirring regularly.
- Prepare the yoghurt layer in the meantime: Add 175g vegan yoghurt, ⅛tsp vanilla and 1 tsp agave syrup into a medium bowl and stir it briefly with a small spoon.
- Cut the remaining half banana into medium-thick slices and lightly mash the cookies. Put a slice of banana and some cookies aside for decoration later
- Now layer in a jar or bowl. I first took about 1/3 of the yoghurt, then added bananas and carefully put the porridge on top. On top of that I put the crushed biscuits, then another layer of yoghurt. On that I put peanut butter and finally another layer of yoghurt.
- Decorate it with the banana slice and a few crumbled cookies. Enjoy 🙂
