This recipe comes to Khoollect from Hayley Barisa Ryczek, author of Fermented Foods at Every Meal. You can find her basic kefir recipe here. Here’s what she said about this heart-warming breakfast treat:

‘This is a great make-ahead, take-along breakfast. It’s hearty and filling with a surprising combination of flavours. Try this porridge with berries and fresh mint, make the seasonal variation of pumpkin in the fall, or the maple walnut or cinnamon apple anytime. Savour it in individual half-pint (235 ml) Mason jars for a perfect single serving.’
