Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of ground flaxseeds and 1/4 cup of finely chopped pecans. Stir these dry ingredients together until evenly distributed.
Gradually add 1 cup of your choice of milk, along with 2 tablespoons of collagen peptides. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until it's smooth.
Add a teaspoon each of ground ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the wet mixture. Stir vigorously until fully blended.
Transfer the mixture into a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently.
Check the porridge's consistency. If it feels too thick, stir in an additional splash of milk until the desired creaminess is reached.
Ladle the warm porridge into bowls, and customize each serving with your choice of toppings such as chocolate chips, raisins, or coconut flakes.
