I wasn’t always a fan of oatmeal. This changed by the time I was an adult, and now I can’t get enough of the stuff! I wouldn’t exactly call this recipe “oatmeal” since it’s a blend of several grains. That’s why we call this recipe Power Porridge. It’s packed with many heart-healthy ingredients, including banana, which adds natural sweetness and energy-boosting properties. This power porridge provides excellent nutrition, supporting immunity, digestion, and overall wellbeing, keeping you full all morning until lunch.

When autumn rears her head, I shift breakfast from smoothies to porridge. Adding pumpkin seeds to the porridge provides extra nutrition and a delightful crunch. This is the time of the year when we crave warm comfort foods, and this porridge is just that. No one wants to drink a cold smoothie when the weather gets chilly. Oatmeal is simple and quick to make, leaving you with endless preparation options. On this blog, I cover quite a few takes on oatmeal recipes.
For my family, I triple this porridge recipe in a slow cooker when I have a house full of guests at our farm. I set it up to cook for a few hours on low heat, very early in the morning, and it comes out great, just in time for breakfast.
