Equipment

  • Blender
  • Medium Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Wooden Spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Raw Peanuts unsalted, redskin
  • 1 cup Quick Oats
  • 2 cups Milk divided
  • 3 cups Water
  • 2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg or freshly grated
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • pinch Salt
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk or sugar, sweeten to taste

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, add water and bring to a boil over medium heat. In a blender (or blender cup), combine the peanuts, oats, milk, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Purée until you've reached your desired texture (silky smooth or with some texture).
  • Pour mixture into boiling water and whisk constantly to prevent lumping. Continue to whisk until mixture has thickened. After approx. 5 to 7 minutes, or when porridge has thickened and has slow large bubbles, add an additional 1/4 to 1/2 cup of milk or water to thin porridge to your desired consistency.
  • Stir with a spoon and let simmer on low heat for another 5 to 10 minutes then sweeten with condensed milk or sugar to taste. Serve hot, and enjoy!
