Warming winter breakfast: homemade muesli and porridge

Warming winter breakfast: homemade muesli and porridge

Winter is the time for snuggling up, hot drinks and, of course, warming meals. And what better way to start the day than with homemade muesli or a steaming bowl of porridge? With the right ingredients and a touch of creativity, breakfast is not only nutritious, but also a real highlight.

Why muesli and porridge are ideal in winter

While the temperatures drop outside, our body needs energy and warmth. Oat flakes, quinoa or spelt are perfect sources of energy, providing long-lasting satiety and important fiber. Especially when they are freshly processed with a flaker such as the Salzburger Flockenmeister, they retain their full flavor and maximum nutrient density.

Muesli – the all-rounder for those in a hurry

Muesli can be wonderfully prepared and adapted to your own preferences.
This is how it works:

1. Basis: Freshly flaked oat flakes, spelt flakes or a mixture of different cereals.
2. Toppings: Nuts, seeds and dried fruit such as raisins or dried apricots add bite and sweetness.
3. Fresh highlights: Apples, pears or orange pieces add freshness and vitamins to the bowl.
4. Milk or plant-based drink: Pour the whole thing with milk, oat drink or even fresh orange juice – just as you like it.

Tip: If you prepare your muesli the evening before and leave it to soak overnight, it will be particularly digestible!

Porridge – the classic for frostbite

Porridge is the ultimate treat on cold winter mornings. It is warm, creamy and can be whipped up in just a few minutes. You can use a flaker to crush your oats as coarsely or finely as you like – so the porridge is exactly how you like it best.

The basic recipe:

• 50 g freshly flaked oats
• 250 ml milk, plant-based drink or water
• A pinch of salt

1. Heat the milk or plant-based drink in a small pan.
2. Stir in the rolled oats and salt.
3. Leave everything to simmer over a low heat for about 5 minutes until the desired consistency is reached.

Refinement?

• Fruity: With apple sauce, banana slices or warm berries.
• Nutty: With chopped almonds, walnuts or a dollop of almond butter.
• Sweet: With honey, maple syrup or a pinch of cinnamon and cocoa.

Why flake fresh?

Industrially processed flakes lose some of their valuable nutrients through storage and processing. With your own flaker, such as the Salzburger Flockenmeister, you can crush your grain fresh and as required. Not only does it taste better when freshly flaked, it also contains more vitamins, minerals and enzymes.

Our tip for stress-free mornings

Prepare a winter breakfast kit: Put together a small storage tin with various nuts, seeds and dried fruit that you can simply add to your muesli or porridge. This will save you time in the morning and you’ll always have the perfect mix to hand.

Conclusion: Warming pleasure that makes you happy

A homemade winter breakfast is much more than just a meal. It is a moment of peace, enjoyment and mindfulness. With freshly flaked cereals and lovingly selected ingredients, you can conjure up a perfect start to the day – full of warmth, energy and flavor.
