Seven-grain porridge with seeds and berries recipe
This hearty porridge will warm you up on a cold morning and the tasty seeds and berries give it a delicious crunch. If you're in a hurry you can put the grains in water, to soak, before you go to bed, then make the porridge in the morning. Or you can even make the entire porridge the night before and reheat a serving or two, as needed, on the hob or in a microwave, with a little extra water or milk.
