Ingredients for gluten-free maple pecan breakfast porridge on a kitchen counter

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine certified gluten-free rolled oats, almond milk, salt, and cinnamon over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce heat to low and cook uncovered for 12-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until oats are tender and porridge is creamy.
Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat.
Serve the porridge warm, topped with toasted pecans and optional fresh fruit or an extra drizzle of maple syrup as desired.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of almond milk to loosen the porridge if needed.
