Porridge Mix

To save myself time, finding and measuring ingredients and generally making a mess in the morning,  I've made myself some Almost Instant porridge mix.

Basic ingredients are:-
Rolled oats
Wheat Flakes
Milled Flaxseed
Dried Fruit like Sultanas
Dessicated Coconut
Cinnamon

I could have added Powdered Milk but didn't have any.

I made 3 jars of mix, shook them up to mix everything and tomorrow, I'm ready to go.  Just add boiling water or cold milk, microwave for a minute or two, add fresh fruit once made or yogurt.  Done. Big Grin

Sounds more like a Museli mix to me?

Muesli is usually eaten cold and pre soaked - which I don't like.
Porridge is cooked.
Call it whatever you like - its porridge to me. Big Grin

Breakfast for me is:
1. put coffee machine on with about 800ml water.
2. three scoops, about 50g, of Aldi's finest Irish organic porridge in a bowl with 2 small handfuls soft fruit (raspberries and black currants currently) with cold water.
3. microwave for 2min 40sec, then add a teaspoon honey.
4. microwave for another 2min. 20sec.
5. drink first cup of coffee while porridge cools a bit, then eat porridge and have 2nd cup coffee.

That's roughly the way I've been making mine - boil kettle, oats in bowl, microwave, add fruit, honey, yogurt but I wanted to add some more ingredients from the "How not to Die" Daily Dozen like Flax seeds, spices, and another cereal. Mixing them up in bulk will save me finding all the ingredients each morning.

I do a similar premix for our bread. It saves fiddling about with all the seeds at the time. Each jam jar has sugar, salt, wheat flakes, pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, poppy and linseeds, all ready to be bunged in with the yeast and country grain flour. The seed mix also goes onto my weetabix in the morning. I think premixes are a brilliant idea.

Sounds like we make a very similar bread JJB.

Our porridge is just porridge oats. Made with milk on the stove top. Adding whatever once cooked. I only add sugar, Bob adds sugar, more milk or cream and rabbit poo (sultanas).

I used to do something similar when I used my breadmaker. Even cut the butter into cubes ready to add. Maybe I should dig my breadmaker out again, since my supply of sourdough bread has dried up.

I thought your breadmaker was on the top shelf in the kitchen and you couldn't reach it, or was that the kenwood?  Wink
