]]>Soak The Oats
Soaking the oats before you cook them will reduce cooking time, and ensure that the oats are soft and creamy. You can use a mix of water and milk to soak them in, and it’s fine to cook the oats in this liquid rather than draining it away.
(@pigletsinwiglets)Whisk The Milk
If you cook your oats in milk (or a water-milk mix), try frothing or whisking the milk before hand. This makes the milk light and foamy, and lends a real creamy smoothness to the finished porridge which is hard to resist!
Salt and Sugar
It’s traditional to cook porridge with a pinch of salt, but combining a teaspoon of sugar and salt and stirring this into your oats will ensure a rich, creamy, ever so slightly sweet taste which is utterly delicious.
These tips and tricks will elevate your porridge into a bowl of pure creamy deliciousness, so give them a go next time you’re making breakfast.

]]>Brand Choice
If you’re buying pre-packed oats at your local supermarket, make sure to check the label and avoid the brands with artificial ingredients and loaded with sugar.
I made this orange jam in december and, surprisingly, I still got a few jars in my pantry

Speaking of sugar, your oats are probably sweet enough on their own, so there’s no need to add maple syrup, honey, brown sugar, or chocolate chips to the mix.
Milk Choice
Replacing your dairy milk with plant-based substitutes is also a good idea, because they contain less sugar and calories, and it’s less likely they’ll lead to bloating.
Dried Fruit
If you’re adding fruits to your porridge, avoid dried ones, because they’re packed with calories and sugars. Go with fresh or frozen ones instead, since they’re a much healthier and more nutritious option.
Nuts Overload
Nuts are a popular porridge topping—since they contain protein and healthy fats—but it’s important to use them in moderation due to their high-calorie content.

To prepare this quinoa porridge you will need:
1 cup uncooked quinoa

All you need is: * 1/2 cup quinoa flakes * 1 tbsp ground flaxseed * 1/2 cup milk of choice * 3/4 cup water * maple syrup to serve Combine everything except the maple syrup in a saucepan and cook for about 3 minutes. Serve with a little maple drizzled over the top. The full recipe and instructions are on the blog! This is a really quick, high fibre brekky option that is perfect for a weekday morning – and hey it’s vegan, nut free, gluten free (quinoa is suitable for coeliacs) and low fodmap.
#quinoaporridge #porridgebowl #glutenfree #healthybreakfast #quinoaflakesHow To Make It:
First, grab a saucepan and turn on the oven on medium heat.
Start by heating the coconut oil in the pan. Then, add the quinoa and stir it constantly. This should take around two minutes. This is when you should start adding the coconut milk, or your preferred alternative. Also, add the salt. The heat should be at medium-high when you’re doing this.
Once it’s all done, reduce it to medium-low and cover the pan for around 20 minutes.
Remove it from the heat and leave it covered for 5 more minutes.
You can always add some stevia for a sweeter taste. Serve it with fruits, nuts or literally anything that you like. This delicious quinoa porridge will take 10 minutes of your time.
