Crock-Pot Porridge


YIELD: 8 servings
PREPARATION TIME: 5 minutes
COOKING TIME: several hours in a slow cooker


Details

This recipe comes from my book, The Eat-Clean Diet® Cookbook! Whole grains are essential for building strong, lean bodies. What better way to start your day than with a crock pot loaded with the best of the body-building whole grains? Jazz up the porridge with fresh berries, flaxseed, wheat germ and bee pollen. Guess who’s buff now?

Ingredients

• ½ cup / 120 ml cracked wheat
• 1½ cups / 335 ml steel cut oats
• ½ cup / 120 ml rye flakes
• ½ cup / 120 ml brown rice
• ¼ cup / 60 ml wheat germ
• 6½ cups / 1.5 L water or any combination of liquids including water, rice milk, soy milk, almond milk, goats milk and/or water equal to 6½ cups
• ½ cup / 120 ml raisins
• ½ cup / 120 ml chopped dates
• 1½ tbsp / 22 ml best-quality vanilla
• Pinch nutmeg

Preparation

  1. Place all ingredients in a 3-quart-or-greater crock-pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Cover.
  2. Set on lowest cooking temperature and cook overnight. If your crock-pot cooking time is set by length of cooking time, set for the longest cooking time and lowest heat.
  3. Spoon into cereal bowls in the morning and serve piping hot!

Tip

Add any dried fruit you may like to this dish; it is very forgiving.

    I made this earlier in the week (found it in the cookbook). It's yummy and very filling!
  • From: BBKim about 3 years ago

    Sounds yummy. Just wondering if it would keep in the fridge for a few days for easy re-heating?

    hmm i'm wondering about it lasting in the fridge as well - I guess we'll have to find out! sounds really good! i think i'll try it out over the weekend!
  • From: dscott4056 about 3 years ago

    Did anyone test its shelf-life (actually fridge-life, I guess) yet? I'm curious too.

    has anyone found out whether it will last a few days? I want to make this but I have a feeling it could just be me eating it, and 8 servings is quite a lot for one person to get through!!

    It will certainly last a few days, I've used it up over a week or more. I separate it into serving sizes and heat it in the microwave each morning. I top it with yoghurt and a banana, it's delicious!

    Great thanks for that, I will definitely give it a go because it does sound delicious.

    I made this recipe Sunday night, instead of making the whole thing I cut the recipe in half and it still made about 6 cups worth. I actually put some in the freezer so that I could eat it next week too. So far it has kept well in the fridge and reheats fine in the microwave.
