Porridge is part of a filling breakfast for many people.

Good old porridge used to be a horror for many.

Today, many value it as a warm, healthy breakfast that can be prepared in countless variations and with various toppings:

, with chopped

fruit, nuts, seeds and kernels

Prepare porridge: three alternatives to oatmeal

Classically, porridge is simply made from

looking for

a

change at breakfast

.

We have the solution here: alternatives with which you

can

prepare

your

porridge without oat flakes

Versatile: Prepare porridge with quinoa

Most people know

quinoa

for hearty dishes, for example as a salad or as a side dish

instead of rice

.

But quinoa - the so-called Inca grain, which comes from the Andes - can also be made into a

sweet porridge

, especially white quinoa.

It's also super healthy: Quinoa has few calories, but is

rich in protein and gluten-free

.

The taste is mild and has a nutty note.

For a delicious porridge, simply simmer

50 grams of roasted quinoa

for 10 minutes while stirring in

150 milliliters of milk

or a plant-based alternative.

Banana slices, cocoa powder and almond butter go well with it.

Also delicious:

oatmeal biscuits made from just three ingredients - quick-baked, easy and delicious.

Prepare porridge with millet flakes instead of oat flakes: delicious alternative

Even

millet flakes

can be processed into a warm porridge.

Millet is a

gluten-free grain

that is rich in silica, among other things, and is therefore good for hair, skin and bones!

So you are doing something good for your appearance and your health with this breakfast.

The preparation is similar to that with oatmeal and quinoa: Bring

200 milliliters of milk or vegetable drink

to the boil, add

50 grams of millet

and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, don't forget to stir.

Pieces of apple, berries or desiccated coconut are ideal as toppings.

Buckwheat porridge: an alternative to oatmeal

Buckwheat

is not a grain and does

not contain gluten

.

But buckwheat is also super healthy: it contains many minerals, proteins and vitamins, such as iron, magnesium and B vitamins.

You can use

buckwheat grains

or

buckwheat flakes

for your porridge.

You first

have to soak

buckwheat

overnight

: add

50 grams of buckwheat

to water and a pinch of salt.

The next day, rinse the swollen buckwheat well and let it

simmer

with

250 milliliters of water or plant-based

drink.

Then take the porridge off the stove and refine it as you like, for example with maple syrup, fruits or nuts.
