Vegan Chai Porridge with Blueberries
In the cold season, we love to enjoy a warm breakfast in the morning! When it's dark outside, and we're still wrapped in three blankets, we look forward to a cozy, warm breakfast that gives us energy for the day. Porridge is easy to prepare and works wonderfully with different fruits, sauces, and toppings. We've prepared a recipe for you with chai powder, blueberry sauce, and roasted hazelnuts!
The preparation of the porridge is quick and super simple. You can either use plant-based chai powder or chai tea. You can easily stir the chai powder into the milk or hang the tea bags into the warm milk and just let it steep for several minutes. Both work wonderfully, even if the chai powder creates a much intense flavor.
Since berries are not in season, we used wild blueberries from the glass, which are harvested in summer and preserved in glasses. With the help of a little starch, we made a creamy blueberry sauce, which can also be prepared on the weekend or the evening before. We topped the porridge with banana, which can also be replaced with local fruits from spring to autumn.
We are very happy that [Kölln] (https://www.koelln.de/) supported us with this recipe! We used the [Kölln porridge with nuts & oats] (https://www.koelln.de/produkte/porridge/nussig/), which, in addition to whole grain oats (72%), also consists of soluble whole grain oats (18%) and chopped and ground hazelnuts. We also used the [Kölln oat drink] (https://www.koelln.de/produkte/haferdrinks/) in the recipe, which we can highly recommend! You can find out more about the advantages and types of oats [here] (https://www.koelln.de/produkte/haferflocken/).
