Apple, Vanilla & Hazelnut Proats & Chia Blueberry Jam

Lately I have been obsessed with proats, aka protein oats. This morning I had a big craving for apple pie and decided to whip up this yummy porridge recipe. I want to emphasize straight away that in this recipe there's no protein powders or other artificial stuff. Protein powders are good if you're training a lot but in baking and cooking I feel their taste is too distinctive and they give a bit of a rubbery texture. This recipe is also dairy free and gluten free.

I love porridge. It's such an easy and quick breakfast and you can easily add stuff to it that will keep you full until lunch. If you like you can replace the unsweetened almond milk with for example vanilla flavored almond milk. I personally as a diabetic prefer to use the unsweetened milks.

The recipe for chia blueberry jam is super easy. You can use the recipe for pretty much any kind of berries. Love how simple and healthy it is! The jam stays goof for about a week (if it lasts that long ;).

Happy porridge making
