Ingredients
300g oatmeal
300g spelt flakes
300g barley flakes
Instructions
1Stir the oatmeal, spelt flakes, and barley flakes together in a large bowl until evenly distributed. Transfer the blend to an airtight jar or container.
2To make a single serving, combine 50 grams of the dry grain mixture with 300 milliliters of milk or water in a small saucepan.
3Cook the mixture over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir it occasionally so the grains don't stick to the bottom, cooking until thickened and creamy.
Notes
Storage: Keep the dry porridge mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 6 months.
Serving: Top your cooked bowl with a drizzle of honey, agave nectar, or fresh sliced strawberries.
Liquid swap: You can use any dairy or plant-based milk for a richer texture, or stick to water for a lighter bowl.
