    Slow Cooker Blueberry Porridge

    It is getting warmer day by day now but despite the sunny days the mornings sometimes still have a chill to them. I like to send my kids off to school knowing they have had a warm and filling healthy breakfast and my slow cooker porridge with blueberries is ideal for that.

    The whole family loves it. It is thick and smooth and free of refined sugar and full of fruity goodness with a delicious taste of blueberries.

    Slow Cooker Blueberry Porridge

    Not just for kids though, this slow cooker porridge recipe makes enough for four portions so I also grab a tub and take my own to work with me, saving on buying something for breakfast when I get there.

    Due to the oats porridge is a slow-release energy which keeps you full until lunchtime, as well as being really cheap to make.

    A bag of rolled oats lasts for ages in the store cupboard too. Swap the milk for your preferred almond or soya milk if you are vegan or dairy-free.

    Also check out my recipe video in this post to see exactly how to make this for yourself.

    How to Make Slow Cooker Porridge

    Step 1. Place the oats, milk and water in the slow cooker.
    Step 2. Put most of the blueberries in a small pan with a couple of tablespoons of water and heat gently until they start to release their juice. Then add the blueberries to the slow cooker and stir.
    Step 3. Cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 4-5 hours. If cooking overnight you can use a timer.
    Step 4. Heat the rest of the blueberries as before and stir them through before serving for swirls of colours. Ladle into bowls, and add a handful of blueberries, and if you wish a drizzle of honey and a few sunflower seeds.

      Sounds good! Why do I need to cook the blueberries first? Can’t I just chuck them all in or won’t that work?

        For the lovely colour, it doesn’t go like that otherwise! But you can just chuck them in too if you prefer of course
