Ingredients

• 1 cup raw peanuts ((146g) blanched or redskin)
• 2 cups boiling water ((475ml))
• 1 ½ cups coconut milk ((340g))
• ½ cup ground oats ((40g)gluten free if sensitive to trace)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract ((4g))
• 1 tsp nutmeg ((2g))
• 1 tsp cinnamon ((2g))
• ¼ Himalayan pink salt.
• condensed coconut milk to taste

Method

1. Combine the peanuts and boiling water in a blender, on high speed (be very careful) blitz to make a smooth paste (it shouldn't be too thick, if so add a bit more water).
2. Pour the liquid into a saucepan along with the coconut milk and allow to boil then reduce to low heat
3. While stirring, add the ground oats in increments (don't add it all at once) until all of it is in the saucepan and combined
4. Once the peanut mixture starts to thicken stir in the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and pink salt.
5. When everything has been incorporated, allow to simmer for a further 5-10 minutes, stirring throughout, if the porridge thickens up too much simply add a splash of water
6. Finally sweeten with sweetener of your choice to taste
7. Serve accordingly.
