Ingredients
  

  • 15-25g butter, regular or vegan
  • 60g (1/2 cup)* white or brown rice flakes
  • 250-310ml (1 - 1 1/4 cup)* milk of choice
  • 20-40ml (1-2 tablespoons)* maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon (to taste)
  • pinch of salt
  • 10g (1 tablespoon)* white chia seeds

Instructions
 

  • Place the butter in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Once melting, add the rice flakes, milk, maple syrup, cinnamon and salt and whisk to combine.
  • Cook for 5 minutes, whisking intermittently until the porridge is thicker (not necessarily thickened) and the rice flakes are cooked.
  • Remove from the heat and whisk in the chia seeds. Allow the porridge to sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  • Taste and adjust for seasoning and serve with your desired toppings and mix ins.

Notes

  • See body of the post for low FODMAP tips
  • This porridge is best with full fat, creamy milks so it’s not grainy.
  • It is also best eaten fresh and not left to cool. If it does cool and firm up, add a splash of extra milk or water to reach your desired consistency. 
  • If you prefer a drier, more chewy style of porridge, use 125ml (1/2 cup) milk. 
  • Less milk means less volume, however, and it ends up looking like quite a sad tiny bowl of porridge. If you're attempting the drier style, I would recommend using 90-120g of rice flakes. If you use 90g (3/4 cup) use 180ml (3/4 cup) milk. To use 120g (1 cup) of rice flakes, use 250ml (1 cup) of milk. Essentially, you need to use the same cup volume of milk as rice flakes for a thicker porridge.
