When you think of porridge, you might think of a gloppy mess. But with breakfast toppers and berries adding lots of texture, you’ll never think that again! Start your day with this super healthy breakfast porridge that will fill you up until lunch.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup steel cut oats (quick 3-minute oats)
- Blueberries, Almonds and Buckwheat Breakfast Toppers
- berries (optional)
- nuts (optional)
- honey (optional)
- brown sugar (optional)
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan on medium heat, bring milk to a boil. Decrease heat to low and add steel cut oats to milk. Stir and simmer for 4-5 minutes or until the porridge is at your desired consistency.
2. Pour the porridge into a bowl and top with Blueberries, Almonds and Buckwheat Breakfast Toppers. Make it yours by adding fresh berries, honey, brown sugar or nuts to the porridge as well!
Make it vegan! Use nut milk and leave out honey or substitute it with agave syrup.
Add more flavor! Add vanilla extract or spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.
To make the porridge healthier why don’t you mention almond, rice, coconut milk as other options.
I actually soak my gluten free BOB’S RED MILL brand rolled oats overnight in coconut water also mix in some cinnamon, yogi berries. The next morning it’s ready to eat and I add some sprouted pumpkin or sunflower seeds, I use stevia as my sweetener, about 5 drops, but one can also use honey or whatever sweetener they prefer.
I like what your doing! I buy your cereal at Whole Foods. Can’t wait for the cinnamon clusters to hit the grocery stores. Just ordered your herb and mushroom kits.
Hi Lin,
Thank you so much for your feedback and support! We do make a note that this can be made vegan by using any sort of nut milk instead. We love the idea of overnight oats and soaking in coconut water – YUM!
