Start your morning with a nourishing Sweet Potato Chai Porridge topped with Spiced Almond Crumble. A comforting, easy breakfast full of flavor and nutrients!
Ingredients
- • sweet potato: 2 medium, peeled and grated
- • rolled oats: 1 cup
- • almond milk: 2 cups, unsweetened
- • chai tea bag: 1
- • water: 1 cup
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- • ground cardamom: 1/2 teaspoon
- • ground ginger: 1/2 teaspoon
- • salt: a pinch
- • almonds: 1/2 cup, roughly chopped
- • coconut oil: 1 tablespoon
- • honey: 1 tablespoon (or agave syrup for vegan)
- • nutmeg: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 In a medium saucepan, bring the almond milk and water to a gentle boil. Add the chai tea bag and let it steep for 5 minutes to infuse the liquid with aromatic chai flavors. Remove the tea bag before proceeding.
- 2 Stir in the grated sweet potato and rolled oats into the chai-infused liquid. Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the oats and sweet potato are tender and the mixture is creamy, approximately 15 minutes.
- 3 While the porridge is cooking, prepare the spiced almond crumble. In a small skillet, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Add the chopped almonds, honey (or agave syrup for a vegan option), and nutmeg. Toast gently, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- 4 Once the porridge has reached your desired consistency, remove from heat. Serve in bowls and top with the spiced almond crumble for added texture and flavor. Enjoy warm.
Serving Suggestions
- • Enhance the breakfast experience by pairing this Sweet Potato Chai Porridge with a side of fresh seasonal fruit, like sliced apples or berries, to complement the spices and add a natural sweetness. For an extra boost of protein, consider serving with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a vegan alternative, which also adds a creamy contrast to the warm porridge. A freshly brewed cup of herbal tea or chai latte perfectly rounds out this comforting breakfast, creating a harmonious morning routine.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, allow the porridge to cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of almond milk or water to loosen the consistency, if needed. The spiced almond crumble can be stored separately in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain its crunchiness for up to a week.
