This recipe is great for a Gluten Free porridge that is warming and yum and very healthy.
Ingredients:
150g Almonds (alternatively you could make a combination of other nuts such as walnuts, pecans or Brazil nuts*)
30g Flax seeds
80g sunflower seeds
100g pepitas
60g chia seeds
1 cup of quinoa flakes
Optional: 1 tablespoon of soy protein powder (this makes it more filling)
685g of fruit e.g. peeled banana (works out to about 1.1kg of unpeeled bananas), stewed or steamed apple and/or pear**, or tinned peaches (drained)
500mls of a non-dairy milk such as soy, almond or coconut milk.
Method:
Weigh in the nut and seed mix to your Bellini/Smith and Nobel/Kogan/Thermomix/Cheapomix/Povomix/Thermofake machine and blend for 30 seconds on speed 8. (For those without in-built scales put your jug on the scales, calibrate it then weigh your seeds and nuts.)
Scrape down the edges with a spatula.
Blend again for 30 seconds on speed 2.
Take 1 cup of the nut and seed mix to cook in this batch and set the rest aside. Put that 1 cup back into the jug.
Add your cup of quinoa flakes to the thermo jug. Also add soy protein powder here if you are including it.
Peel and add your banana.
Blend on speed 7 for 20 seconds.
Add 2 cups of milk of choice (I currently use So good lite Soy milk because it is low FODMAP).
Cook on speed 2 at 100° for 20 minutes.
Once it's done it's ready to be eaten.
This can be stored in the fridge for a week and reheated in single serves. It's best eaten hot, with cold (soy) milk poured over it.
The left over seed and nut mix keeps well in the fridge for weeks, so next week you can skip the first few steps, or just eat it with yoghurt if the weather has warmed up again.
Special thanks to Kyra who was the master mind behind this recipe. I just tweaked it a little and measured it out.
*If you are on a low FODMAP diet remember that there are restrictions on the amounts of some nuts you can eat, so don't eat a lot if you are making it solely with Almonds. Walnuts, pecans and brazil nuts are the lower FODMAP nuts, but half size serves i.e. 10 almonds or 10 hazel nuts are okay.
**Careful on the fruit too if you are trying to make it low FODMAP as only banana is low FODMAP of the fruits suggested.
