I think I may be addicted to porridge. I could eat it for every meal every single day. It´s nourishing, warming, deliciously creamy, rich in fiber, budget friendly and keeps you full for hours. The best thing is that you can vary your toppings every day and transform this simple baby pulp into the most exquisite dessert in the world. And it totally allows you to have chocolate for breakfast and feel good about it. Which other meal provides that? You can always buy a ready-to-make mix or just blend plain oats and mix them with water or milk to prepare an easy and energizing breakfast in less than 5 minutes. But we want to take it to the next level…I once bought this ready-made oatmeal mix, which contained a lot of delicious ingredients besides the obvious oats and fell in love from the first bite. After buying kilograms of this stuff, I was very determined to make my own mixture. And the results became my favorite thing in the morning.
Don´t let the long list of ingredients scare you, once you have everything together it´s super easy and will last for many weeks.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
Blend all ingredients together until they´re finely ground.
You want a flour-like texture to keep the cooking time at minimum, but you should still be able to see some fine particles, otherwise it´ll lack creaminess.
How to cook:
Bring 1 cup milk of your choice to boil (I usually use rice or almond milk).
Turn off the heat and add ½ to ¾ cup (depending on the creaminess / thickness you want) of your porridge mix to the hot milk. Add a sweetener of your choice (agave syrup for me). Stir well and let it sit for 3-4 min.
Transfer to a bowl and garnish with fresh fruits, dried fruits, nuts, seeds or other favorite toppings.
Enjoy!

Notes:
For my German friends: Das Rezept für die Mischung basiert auf den Inhaltsstoffen des "Frühstücksbreis" von Alnatura und schmeckt fast identisch, da ich (abgesehen von Quinoa) die Zutatenliste nicht verändert habe. Den Frühstücksbrei findet ihr unter anderem hier.
