      I am loving all of these breakfast options! I don't think I've yet had rye flakes. I'm sure I would like them, I love rye bread. Freshly toasted marble rye is one of my favorite things. Next to pumpernickel. And I think that the pairing with the strawberry would be perfect for the rye's herbyness. Oh, strawberries, you make me think of warmer times...

        Thanks Susie. Oh I love pumpernickel bread too, it's just got such a moorish taste doesn't it?

        Ah, warmer weather.....here's to it! (I'll still be eating porridge though 😉 )

        Hi Julie, thanks for dropping by! 🙂

        Yeah, it really is a yummy way to start the day.

        I love my oatmeal / wholegrains / porridge in the morning, first thing. I find that not only are they a great kick start but they put the energy right back into you after a workout too! 😀

      I love that you used rye flakes, Neil! Different grains add such a different taste and texture to the dish, and it's so fun to play around with that and see what you can come up with. Sometime I even combine oats with other flakes for that reason. And strawberries... gah! What I wouldn't give for some of those right now...

        I just so agree Amanda! 🙂

        Porridge oats / oatmeal are great but it's when you start experimenting and trying out different grains that you can see and taste what fun food can be!

        Strawberries, you've just got to love those sweet little juicy temptresses haven't you 😆

        Hi Lindsay, thank you for your kind comments.

        There will be a gluten free porridge recipe today 🙂 and as I've been overwhelmed 😀 by emails requesting more gluten free breakfast recipes, that is something I will be working on.

      I have just got some rye flaked to try, I thought I would do them the same way as my jumbo oats. I soak them overnight in unsweetened almond milk, then in the morning I mix in a good spoonful of my home made yogurt and top with blueberries and toasted flaked almonds, yum yum

        That sounds like a fantastic breakfast Marian! 😀

        Thanks for taking the time to comment and using my recipe as inspiration. Topped with blueberries and toasted flaked almonds and your home made yogurt, that sounds absolutely delicious! 😀
