  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen; or your favorite frozen berries)
  • 3 cups boiled water
  • 2 ½ cups rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds (black or white)
  • ¼ cup raisins (or currants)
  • 2 tablespoons linseeds (flaxseed; or substitute with pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, sunflower seeds)
  • ¾ – 1 cup plain Greek yoghurt (or berry yoghurt)
  • 2-4 tablespoons honey (to taste)

Optional Toppings

  • Fresh berries
  • Berry coulis
  • Honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Liquid Base: Bring 3 cups of water to a boil using a kettle or stovetop. This hot water will soften the oats and activate the chia seeds.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, chia seeds, raisins, and linseeds. These ingredients provide texture, fiber, and healthy fats.
  3. Add Berries: Gently fold in the 3 cups of mixed berries, whether fresh or frozen. The berries will infuse the porridge with natural sweetness and antioxidants.
  4. Pour Boiled Water: Pour the boiled water evenly over the berry and oat mixture, stirring gently to combine. Let this sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
  5. Incorporate Greek Yogurt: Stir in ¾ to 1 cup of plain Greek yoghurt for creaminess and added protein. You may substitute with berry-flavored yoghurt if preferred.
  6. Sweeten the Porridge: Add 2 to 4 tablespoons of honey, adjusting according to your sweetness preference. Mix well to combine all flavors uniformly.
  7. Serve with Optional Toppings: Top the porridge with fresh berries, a drizzle of berry coulis, and an extra drizzle of honey if desired to enhance flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • This porridge can be served warm shortly after preparation or chilled overnight as a refreshing breakfast.
  • Using frozen berries is a convenient way to enjoy this dish year-round without sacrificing flavor.
  • Adjust the honey quantity based on the sweetness of your berries or personal taste.
  • Substitute Greek yoghurt with plant-based yoghurt to make the recipe vegan-friendly, however, this will change the protein content.
  • For a nuttier flavor, try swapping linseeds with pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
