  • Place oats and spelt flour in a small saucepan.
  • Mix together the warm water and acid medium in a separate bowl
  • Pour over oats and mix through.
  • Cover and leave to sit overnight at room temperature or up to 24 hours
  • Rinse oats in the morning to remove the sour tang of whey, yoghurt.
  • Add oats back into saucepan with 1 cup of filtered water and pinch of salt.
  • Simmer porridge until cooked, around 5 minutes.
  • While porridge is cooking grind up linseeds.
  • Once cooked mix through linseeds and swirl of butter, ghee or cream.
