Notes

Toasting almonds before adding them enhances their flavor. If rushed, you can add them raw. Customize your porridge by varying the milk type or adding different nut butters and toppings. For meal prep, cook a larger batch and store it in individual containers in the fridge for easy reheating throughout the week. Just add a splash of milk when reheating to restore creaminess!
