Overnight Turmeric Porridge
Serves 2-3
Start your day on the bright side with this sunny yellow porridge. The toppings can be varied — try sliced banana or blueberries and sesame seeds, or a pinch of ground cinnamon with stewed fruit.
• 100g (3.5 oz) rolled oats
• 700ml (1.2 pint) almond, soya or light coconut milk
• 2 tsp ground turmeric
• 2 tbsp demerara sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
• Pinch of salt
To serve:
• Slices of mango
• Pomegranate seeds
• Toasted coconut flakes
1 Put all the ingredients into the slow cooker, cover with the lid and cook on low for 4-6 hours. If your slow cooker has the function has the function to swich over automatically to ‘keep warm’ once the cooking time is up, leave to cook overnight. Alternatively, set a separate timer to make sure the porridge doesn’t overcook and burn.
2 Give the porridge a good stir before serving, as it will probably have a slight crust on top. Loosen with a dash of water or extra dairy-free milk if it seems dry.
