Jayne's Multi Grain Porridge Mix

Updated: Mar 7, 2021



Here is my favourite porridge mix recipe.


I find it both creamy and chewy at the same time. It is filling – and seems to keep hunger away for longer than pure oat porridge.


Tasty and creamy but at the same time chewy porridge mix. A wonderfully warming way to start the day!





Ingredients


500g oats

120g barley flakes

100g spelt flakes

120g rye flakes

2-3 tbs raisins

2-3tbs pitted chopped dates

2-3tbs chopped apricots

Other dried fruits such as sultanas, cranberries etc. can be used – it is down to individual preference.

Also if you like you can add flaked almonds or some chopped nuts.




Method


Mix all ingredients together in a large sealable container.


To cook


1 Place the number of servings you’d like into a small casserole dish, or for one serving into a breakfast bowl.

2 Pour on enough milk of your choice - cow, goat, soya, oat etc to cover the porridge mix completely (approx. twice the volume) and cover with a lid

3 Leave to soak for at least half an hour – over night is a good idea if you are in a hurry in the mornings and it makes it creamier.

4 Either place in a saucepan and bring to the boil and simmer for about 10 mins or place in the microwave for approx 3/4 mins depending on the number of servings and the wattage of your microwave.


Remember you can use as much or as little fluid as you like and change the ratio/type of grains/dried fruits you use.


I personally don’t like the flavour of buckwheat so never use it. I also find wheat doesn’t agree with my digestion but you may love them in your mix.

There are so many different ways to do this – just think of the number of different ‘milks’ that can be used. I use unsweetened almond milk drink for mine.

It will be fascinating to see how many different variations of porridge we can come up with.

I hope you try either my recipe or one of your own. Do let me know how you get on.
