By The wet grinder roars on Sundays and the kitchen asks nothing of us except that we show up—and some mornings, showing up means something even simpler than dosa batter. This quick vegan maple flax recipe is the kind of thing I reach for when the rhythm of the week needs a quiet anchor: a handful of ingredients, a few minutes, and the same generous pinch the rest of the cooking gets. It is not special. It does not need to be.
Quick Breakfast Recipe Vegan Maple Flax
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 5 minutes | Total Time: 10 minutes | Servings: 1
Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Combine and heat. Add the rolled oats and oat milk to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
