I know it’s getting colder in your parts. Spare a thought for me melting over here in Australia as we gear up for another hot summer.

 I’m always thinking of you and the food you would most enjoy during your seasons.

No point me posting my latest popsicle recipe for you now! That can wait till summer.

So here is another fuss free super fast recipe for you all to try this winter season.

I love it because it’s totally gluten-free, so that’s a bonus for those of you that can’t eat oats for brekky.

 It’s full of healthy fats to sustain you and basically all raw apart from some hot water.

So let me give you the recipe so you can whip it up in a about a minute.

Warming Flax Porridge

  • 1/2 cup freshly ground golden flax
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Sweetener of your choice (I use stevia–you could use raw honey or coconut nectar)
  • Generous dash of cinnamon
  • Boiling water (enough to make a porridge consistency–start off 1/4 cup then keep stirring and adding more as needed)
  • Pinch of good quality salt

Grind your golden flax seeds in either a coffee grinder or your blender. I use my vitamix for this part. Then boil your jug.

Pour your ground golden flax into a small breakfast bowl then pour over some boiled water quickly stirring so the mix does not clump together.

Add in your coconut oil, cinnamon and sweetener and continue to stir.

Top with your favourite berries and I sometimes like to add a dollop of coconut yogurt.

 

Tips: Don’t buy pre ground flax seeds (called flax meal) It’s really just a waste of money. Ground flax seeds go rancid very quick so it’s always best to grind flax just before you need to use it.

Store flax and other nuts and seeds in the fridge or freezer to help them stay fresh longer

Flax seeds are like chia seeds when it comes to absorbing lots of liquid. So be sure to add enough hot water to make the mix a nice smooth porridge like consistency.

 

There you have it. This little flax porridge will sure make your rushed breakfast time a whole lot easier. Now you have no excuses to not eat a healthy and sustaining breakfast this winter.
