This is a really delicious warming winter-time breakfast. It uses the grain Spelt instead of oats to create a creamy porridge. Spelt is ancient form of wheat that is said to be much better for you.
Yield: Serves two.
You will need:
- 1 C. of Spelt Berries
- 3-4 C. of Water
- A few grains of sea salt
- 7-8 Prunes
- Optional sweetener: e.g. Rapadura sugar, Honey or Maple syrup.
- To serve: nuts and fresh fruit
Directions:
- First grind your spelt berries till coarse, in a blender/grinder.
- Soak this over night in warm water and a few grains of salt.
- In the morning cook your spelt with about 2 cups of water, cinnamon and chopped prunes. Cook this until it becomes a creamy consistency.
- Serve with your favourite sweetener and fruit (optional). I like rapadura sugar, grated apple and some crushed almonds.
I hope you enjoy this recipe!
Now I have a question for you! Have you ever used spelt berries in your cooking? If so what did you do?

Thank you for this recipe! I made this today, and it turned out delicious! I love that you grinded the kernels beforehand, I hadn’t thought of that, but this way spelt becomes so much more creamy and sweet! Thanks again!
