Instant Porridge
« on: May 20, 2012, 11:31:10 am »
I got this idea from the kitchn.  Flavored instant porridge that you just add some boiling water to and hey presto breakfast.  This is my standard weekday breakfast, I make up 5 quantities on Sunday night and put them in their own Tupperware container.  In the morning I just add hot water and any fruit or flavorings.  I am often eating this whilst driving the kids to school!

For 2 servings.

Ingredients:
120 grams rolled oats
20 grams Powdered skim milk
1 tbsp Sugar or rapdura to taste

Method:
Add rolled oats to the TMX bowl and pulse the turbo function two or three times to chop them up.

Add sugar, milk powder and mix reverse + speed 2 / 5 secs.

Add any dried fruit, nuts, seeds or spices (eg cinnamon) and mix through with the spatula

Flavorings:
I always include cinnamon in my mix because I love it.  If I have time, I chop up a banana over the top of the porridge.  You could add some of dede's apple puree and have an apple cinnamon porridge!  Another favorite for me is walnuts and cinnamon.

You can add dried fruit like cranberries, blueberries, mango etc.  Or a serve of berries on top.  Whatever you can think of!

One of my boys loves porridge, particularly those really expensive porridge pots that you can buy.  This idea just occurred to me this week to grind up the oats, add flavouring and milk powder!

Just fantastic for when we go away in the caravan!

I would think you could make it drinkable Judy. If you added extra milk powder and then water when you made it.

Because Snappy 'eats' it on the way to school, I presumed she must be drinking it Amy  ;D

Naughty Snappy, I hope she isn't putting on her make-up as well.
