Ingredients

  • 160 grams gluten-free instant oats
  • 4 tsp cocoa powder
  • 4 tsp dried beetroot powder (or red food dye as required)
  • 720 ml coconut milk / whole milk

Method

  • Add all ingredients to a saucepan
  • Let simmer for 2 minutes or until well thickened
  • Sweeten to taste and serve with a swirl of coconut milk or cream on top
  • For one serving I add 2 tsp of beetroot powder but if you follow that rule per serving you'll have very pink porridge!
  • Too much does impart on taste too but it's by no means unpleasant.
  • It's quite sweet actually so you may not need as much sugar as you'd think.
  • Of course you can skip the beetroot powder and use food dye instead or just leave it out altogether
  • Here are my Red Velvet cake and cupcakes recipes which use beetroot for the colouring rather than food dye.
  • I also use beetroot to colour my tomato-free tomato sauce!
