Porridge Oats – Gluten Free

You wanted gluten free porridge oats that don’t taste like cardboard or break down into a mush – and here they are.

Oats contain more soluble fiber than any other grain. They also contain more than 20 unique polyphenols called avenanthramides, which have strong anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-itching activity. They also have the best amino acid balance of all the cereal grains.

To make your breakfast a little more interesting, check out our Porridge Toppings, with loads of nuts, seeds and very special fruits.

Pure oats do not contain gluten, but getting pure oats is not easy. Regular porridge oats tend to be contaminated with gluten. To prevent this happening, the fields which our gluten free porridge oats are grown in have to be carefully inspected to remove any stray wheat growing among the oats.
 
An uncontaminated combine harvester has to then be used to harvest the crop, and the milling has to be done in a completely gluten free mill. To make absolutely sure, each batch is then tested with the ELISA method to verify that the product is gluten-free. It takes time, but its worth it.

Cooking Instructions:

Normal portion: 30g Wyldsson Gluten free Porridge oats + 200ml water or milk (or a mixture of the two)

Larger portion: 50g Wyldsson Gluten free Porridge oats + 300ml water or milk (or a mixture of the two)

Method:

1. Put the oats in a saucepan, pour in the water or milk. Bring to the boil and simmer until it thickens for 1 to 2 minutes, stir from time to time so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
 
2.  Pour into bowl, spoon some yoghurt on top (Greek yoghurt if you like!), a splash of milk and sprinkle with Wyldsson Porridge & Yoghurt topping. Can also mix in some Almond Butter or our famous Crunchy Nut & Seed Butter, to increase the protein content. Some people like to mix in their protein powders or other supplements – entirely up to you.
 
In a hurry? Make this with boiling water. Don’t bother making this in a Microwave as it boils over very easily, not worth it! But you can make porridge in advance and reheat in a microwave in a large bowl on Medium for 1­2 minutes. Before eating let it ‘stand’ for 1 minute and stir to distribute the heat and avoid burning.

Storage: Store in cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
