To say I love porridge would be an understatement. I’m addicted to it. And after years of buying a pre-made porridge topping, I’ve finally got around to making my own.
It actually took way less time than I thought. And it saved me money!
Also, if you buy the seeds from a refill store you can prevent the plastic wastage that typically comes from buying pre-made packs. Win-win!
I’m focusing on increasing my B-Vitamin intake right now because I’m struggling with low energy levels while recovering from pneumonia. So these seeds have been giving me a little nutrient boost.
By the way, the only gluten-free porridge oats that my digestive system actually gets on with are the Delicious Alchemy ones. I have them every day and they’ve never set off my intolerance symptoms. They keep this porridge addict very happy.
And as I’m a total chocoholic, I always stir Nutristrength roasted cocoa pea protein powder into my porridge so it tastes super chocolatey. Then I scoop this porridge topping on and devour it all within what feels like 5 seconds.
Easy Porridge Topping Recipe
Makes enough for 45 servings of 10g (which is the number of porridge bowls I wish I could eat per day)
Ingredients
- 115g flaxseeds (or linseeds)
- 85g sunflower seeds
- 85g pumpkin seeds
- 85g chia seeds
- 35g sesame seeds
- 45g goji berries (optional as they tend to be quite expensive)
Method
If you have a Nutribullet…
- Place the flaxseeds and chia seeds in the Nutribullet and whizz it all up using a milling blade until the seeds are broken up to your liking – I prefer everything to be super small, but it’s up to you
- Empty the Nutribullet contents into a large bowl, then repeat the process with the sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds
- Then repeat with the sesame seeds and goji berries – the only reason I break the ingredients into sections is to be kind to my Nutribullet
- Then mix it all together in the bowl and pour into a jar with an airtight lid, ready to enjoy any time you fancy
If you have a food processor…
- Place all of the ingredients in the food processor and whizz it up to your liking
- Then pour into a jar with an airtight lid, ready to enjoy any time you fancy
If you don’t have anything to break the seeds up with, you could always just fill a nice big jar with the seeds and use it like that as a porridge topping
Either way, you’ll be getting plenty of goodness from it.
Enjoy!

As another porridge lover, this recipe is amazing! super healthy fats and long lasting carbs. Thanks for this recipe, I love it!
Thanks, Amy! I’m glad you like my recipe.
Did you consider swapping oats for millet? It’s more nutritious than oats, and it’s nice to mix things up a bit once in a while.
Thanks, Magdalena! I hadn’t thought of that, so I’ll have to try it out. Nat
