Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- ¼ cup raw peanuts (with skin)
- ⅓ cup oats
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup milk of choice (whole, oat, soy, etc.)
Flavorings
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Optional
- Peanut butter (for topping)
Instructions
- Soak Peanuts: Begin by soaking the raw peanuts in ½ cup of water for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight. This softens the peanuts for easier blending and a creamier porridge texture.
- Blend Ingredients: Drain the soaked peanuts and add them to a high-speed blender along with the oats, water, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth, creating a thick, creamy mixture.
- Simmer on Stovetop: Pour the blended mixture into a small saucepan. Heat it over low to very low heat, gently simmering for 1-2 minutes. Continuously stir with a whisk or wooden spoon to prevent sticking and to encourage thickening.
- Adjust Taste & Texture: Taste your porridge and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired. If the porridge is too thick or sticky, add a splash of milk to achieve your preferred consistency.
- Serve & Enjoy: Transfer the peanut porridge to bowls, add your favorite toppings such as peanut butter for extra richness, and serve immediately. The porridge will continue to thicken as it cools.
Notes
- Soaking peanuts not only softens them but reduces cooking time and enhances digestibility.
- You can use any milk you prefer—dairy or plant-based—to suit dietary needs.
- Stirring constantly during simmering prevents lumps and burning at the bottom.
- The porridge thickens further as it cools, so enjoy it right after cooking or add extra milk before serving.
- Feel free to add toppings like chopped nuts, fruits, or a drizzle of extra peanut butter for added texture and flavor.
