Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked barley
- ½ cup milk (or almond milk)
- 1 tbsp honey
- ¼ cup mixed berries
- Pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Warm Barley and Milk: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup cooked barley with ½ cup milk (or almond milk) and a pinch of cinnamon. Gently heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warmed through and slightly creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve into Bowl: Spoon the warm barley mixture into a serving bowl carefully to retain the creamy texture.
- Add Toppings: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey evenly over the barley, then top with ¼ cup of fresh mixed berries for a burst of color and natural sweetness.
- Enjoy Warm: Serve immediately while warm to enjoy the comforting flavors and texture.
Notes
- Use steel-cut barley for a chewier, nuttier texture in your porridge.
- Almond milk can be used as a dairy-free alternative, which adjusts flavor slightly but keeps creaminess.
- This recipe is easily doubled to serve more people.
- Adjust the amount of honey and cinnamon according to your taste preference.
- Try adding nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition.
