Healthy breakfast porridge recipe from Park Igls Mayr clinic

Comfort food to beat the winter blues (but still stay healthy!)

When the cold, rain and fog are getting you down, having a bite to eat always makes things feel better – however, comfort should ideally be sought in fibre-rich foods such as wholegrain products and vegetables. Gentle steaming keeps them tender and healthy, allowing you to soak up their positive energy and natural antidepressant properties. So give your microwave, fryer, pressure cooker and grill a rest – or, even better, retire them altogether. Start every day with a hot bowl of porridge and give the heart and brain a boost.

Breakfast porridge

Ingredients

  • 200ml of water and/or milk
  • 2-3 tbsp finely ground spelt, gofio, millet and oats
  • Maple syrup
  • Cinnamon

Method

Add the ground grains to a pan containing the cold water and/or milk. Stir well with a whisk. The liquid needs to be cold, otherwise the starch will make the porridge go lumpy! Heat it slowly and continue to stir with the whisk until the mixture thickens slightly. The porridge should be ready in one to two minutes. If making larger portions, cook for as long as necessary.

Note:

  • Cinnamon and maple syrup or honey are delicious added to porridge.
  • May also be garnished with fruits and berries as desired.
  • For a full-flavoured version, chop up a few leaves of stevia and add to the porridge with a drizzle of olive oil.
  • You can also season gofio porridge with salt and pepper.
  • Soya milk, rice milk etc. can be used instead of dairy milk.
