notes

• If you’re vegan, it’s important to make sure you’re getting lots of healthy fats that can be found in nuts and seeds. So this porridge is a great and filling way to do that!

• Try adding some of your favourite fruits on top in replacement of the maple syrup for added sweetness. Bananas, berries, apples or peaches would work beautifully.

• You don’t have to add this combination of nuts and seeds, just use what you have in your cupboard or what is affordable for you.
