Peppermint Porridge

Hello and happy December, the official season for holiday-themed foods!

I apologize again for missing the last couple weeks (finals week 😦 ), but to make it up to you I will have two recipes up this week.

And I can promise that because I finally have a full kitchen again. Thank goodness.

This first recipe is a yummy, light holiday breakfast. It tastes exactly like peppermint cookie dough, but it’s totally healthy. If you leave the candy pieces off, of course. 

makes two servings

Ingredients:

3/4 cup canned lite coconut milk

3/4 cup water

pinch sea salt

1/2 cup Scottish oats

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/4 tsp peppermint extract

1 Tbs liquid sweetener of choice

Directions:

1. Bring coconut milk, water, and salt to boil in a saucepan.

2. Stir in oats, vanilla and peppermint. Turn the heat to low and cover, cooking for ten minutes.

3. When you have five minutes left, stir in your sweetener. Re-cover and finish cooking the porridge.

4. Serve and enjoy!
