Mama's Overnight Yummy Porridge.

Here is the recipe for my overnight porridge. You throw all the ingredients into your crock-pot before you go to bed, and then when you get up breakfast is ready and boy is it yummy!

c = Cup T = Tablespoon

  • 1/2 c Brown Rice
  • 1/2 c Oat Groats
  • 1/2 c Barley (whole or pearled)
  • 1c Rolled Oats
  • 1/4 c Polenta (or cornmeal)1/2 c Millet (or Quinoa)
  • 1/4 c Hulled Buckwheat

You can substitute any of the grains above with something else, sometimes mine has way more Rolled Oats then anything else, it all depends on what's on hand, and the budget of course.

  • 1/2c Whey (or Buttermilk, or Milk)
  • 1/2 c Raisins (or any other dried fruit)
  • 1/2 c Turbinado Sugar (or any sugar you like)
  • 4T Milled Flax Seed
  • 1 T Cinnamon
  • 1/2 T Sea Salt
  • 3 T Butter
  • 7 to 8 c Water


Stir it together, it will be very liquid, it needs it as it will cook all night. Turn your crock-pot on
Low put the lid on and go to bed. This porridge will feed many mouths.

It should be sweet enough and just plain yummy, but some like it sweeter. And left overs should be put into a cake pan pushed flat, and refrigerated. Then during snack time, you cut it into squares and put a dollop of whip cream on it, and you have Porridge Cake, the kids will love it (my hubby like me to make whole batches for him to have in the fridge, he likes to have it at work, filling and tasty all at once).
