Spelt in a slow cooker

Spelt is a very interesting cereal that many ignore, or have heard little about it. What does it represent? Spelt is the ancient progenitor of wheat, it is rich in protein and other useful vitamins and minerals. For comparison: spelt contains up to 37% protein, buckwheat - up to 27%, and other cereals only up to 10%. The percentage ratio says without words that the presented cereal crop is very good for health.

Usually, the spelt is soaked in cold water in the evening and left overnight. In the morning they are washed and cooked for breakfast. You can supplement such a breakfast with granola, as well as fruits and berries. You can season it with cinnamon, adjust the sweetness to taste. Honey, maple syrup, sugar or any sweetener can be used as a sweetener. They cook spelt on water, but you can also cook it on milk. This porridge is perfect for breakfast.

This recipe opens up the possibility of cooking such a useful porridge in a slow cooker. This process is much easier and faster.

1. Pour the spelt into a bowl, pour cold water, mix. We leave it overnight. In the morning we drain the water, it has become slightly cloudy. We wash the cereal again.

2. We put the spelt in the bowl of the slow cooker, pour the oatmeal here. Fill the cereals with milk. Add a pinch of salt. Select the "Cooking" program, set the cooking time to 60 minutes.

3. 10 minutes before the end of the program, pour the maple syrup and add the pre-washed raisins. Close the lid, continue cooking until the beep.

We serve porridge on the table, adding to taste your favorite fruits and berries, as an option - strawberries and banana. A handful of granola will also perfectly complement such a breakfast, but this is also optional.

Bon appetit and have a nice day!
