Ingredients:
| 1 small butternut squash, halved and seeds removed | 1 teaspoon chai spice | 2 tablespoons shelled hemp seeds |
| 1 teaspoon coconut oil | pinch sea salt | 1 tablespoon roughly ground flax seed |
| ¾ cup non-dairy milk | 1 tablespoon chia seed |
Directions
Set your oven to 375F
- In a microwave-safe dish, heat up your coconut oil and then drizzle onto a baking sheet. Set aside.
- Place your halved and de-seeded squash face down into the coconut oil. Place baking sheet in the oven and for 40 minutes. Allow squash to cool before slicing.
- Combine your milk, chai mix and salt into a blender and pulse to combine. Next, add in your chia seeds, hemp seeds and flax. Pulse to combine and set aside.
- Now that your squash is cool enough to touch, take a spoon or ice cream scoop and divide into two bowls. Carefully trying not to mash your squash too much!
- Finally, top your squash with your milk mixture and enjoy warm! Sprinkle with some extra chai spice if you wish!
Make It This Way
For an added touch of sweetness, try adding a tablespoon of maple syrup to your milk mixture!
Acorn squash is also sweet, and naturally buttery in texture – it can be used instead of butternut if you prefer.
Make this with your favourite, non-dairy milk such as almond, hemp, soy, rice or coconut!
Try This
To ensure your dish stays warm, try lightly heating up your milk mixture before pouring on top of your squash! For some added crunch, why not top the porridge with some homemade granola or roughly chopped walnuts!
