397 - DIY Instant Porridge Flavours for the kids! DITL Off Grid Kitchen, from scratch - Australia

Hey Everyone!
I actually did voiceovers for two videos, but the one that was supposed to go out before this the sound was damaged, so I've had to swap them, I don't think it makes a diff with these two lol!
The kids love porridge, I hate making porridge in below 0 temps lol, so I wanted to make them porridge they could make themselves and they love to make it as a snack on a cold afternoon as well! win win.
The basic ratios are as follows, but of course, flavours, sweetness and amount of milk powder is to your taste, I will keep on trying new flavours and maybe do a pdf up with all the flavour variations we try!
per 600g of instant oats - I grind rolled oats in my Thermomix
100-150g of sugar - to taste, 150 is definitely a bit sweeter than I like, but I am starting higher for the kids and pulling it back as I go, I tend to just use brown sugar in all because I like the flavour.
150-200g milk powder - I use coconut milk powder from Hello Pure, the lower end would probably be fine for cows milk powder, the coconut milk powder has a lighter taste to it I find!
40-50g each of Chocolate Peanut butter Powder and ground up banana chips for the choc banana
40-50g each of the plain Peanut Butter Powder and Ground up freeze dried/dehydrated berries for the PB&J
Higher point of milk powder and 10-20g of cinnamon for Brown Sugar/Cinnamon!
I am considering soaking some plain oats overnight and mixing up a batch of the sugar/flavour and they can just put a tablespoon on soaked oats with boiling water, seeing what the texture is like, but as I said in the video, I find having things premade and set up means less wastage and better portion control :)

Nyssa, part of what is so appealing about your videos is the fact that they are in-the-moment-organic and NOT on-purpose cooking videos. Your vids are truly unique, inspiring, and entertaining as well. For me, the single subject cooking videos can get old after a while - repetitive, stale and boring. So, keep doing you, I really enjoy your vids. That garlic butter/spread looked sooo yummy. Thanx for the video :)

[@OurSmallFootprint]

The roasted garlic butter is so so good, I really need to do a bunch up and freeze it before I can't get cheap garlic again lol. If I leave it in the fridge we just eat it!

[@nancyfarkas3592]

What’s wrong with “on purpose” cooking videos? Everyone does what works for them. Doesn’t make it fake

[@forlostnfound]

​@@nancyfarkas3592 Chill out and read my comment again. Nowhere did I say they were fake and nowhere did I imply they were fake. I said *FOR ME* they can get repetitive and boring 🙄

No matter the length of your videos we will always watch them. We are die hard fans here. I definitely think the cooker would be a great investment for you. You make everything from scratch, so it just makes sense. Maybe we could all chip in and help with some of the cost.

The different styles of videos on KZbin do different things for audiences. We watch your videos to share in the things you and the fam get up to. And often those things will inspire us to give something new a go... like that yummy loaded potato soup you shared. After watching your video, I went to other vids and some recipes on line for more of the detailed howto instructions so we could give it a go. But the howto videos, we don't come back to and engage with like we do your channel. I liken your channel to others we watch ongoing, like 3 Rivers Homestead, where it is your ongoing journey we are following along with. We root for you guys when planting gardens or building. And get ideas from your kitchen shares. I wouldn't change a thing Nyssa and the success of your channel is a testimate to that 😊

Love your videos…do you…don’t compare yourself with others. I think you do a wonderful job!

[@sylviahufer7019]

I agree with the amount of cooking you do a commercial 6 or 8 burner would be perfect for you , the initial cost would be expensive but I’m sure you wouldn’t regret it in the long run .

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I think it would be a worthwhile thing, yeah. It's hard when prioritising different costs and purchases and deciding what to do when! :D

Nyssa, I have a stash of pillowcases and some white socks that I use to cover some of my kitchen gadgets like a sock on my pasta attachment and a pillow slip fits over that and my Kenwood mixer.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I have even taken to taking the pasta attachment off and putting it in a container, but I think the oil and stuff just attracts dust and dirt and it creates these black streaky lines in the first lot of pasta if I don't use pasta to run through it first... its odd, maybe its the roller, because its a generic one, not a kitchenaid brand one!

[@sarahd4176]

Love what you cook and I am always amazed what you manage under challenging kitchen circumstances. The length of the videos don't bother me. I will watch whatever you put out! Regarding your need for a break now you are doing a longer 9 week stretch between Brisbane visits; could you do a daytrip to Toowoomba for your buffering supplies so you get ALDI prices and some downtime. Sometimes even a few hours out without children can function as a mental health break and help with cabin fever.

[@vegemitegirl1971]

I don't eat oats (allergy) but hubby does. I do make him brown sugar and cinnamon oats but also add sultanas and grated apple.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

The stuff I make on the stove for them always has whatever I have, or I make like a coconut/nut toasted topping as well (though I should make a jar of that and they can add it to their instant stuff for a texture thing!) We normally have dehydrated apple pieces around and Kavik loves those too! Lots of flavour combo's avail :D

[@savannahv1808]

I’m allergic to oats too. I use rolled or flaked wheat, spelt, barley, rye, einkorn or a mix of them, they make a great substitute for oats. Same mouthfeel with a tad more flavor. Making an instant version would help on those mornings when the coffee takes forever to kick in!

[@OurSmallFootprint]

@@savannahv1808 I've seen some of the grain mixes at Honest to Goodness and wondered how they'd go, a more diverse flavour profile and potentially nutrition there too, I might have to order some to try at some point, but rolled oats are just so cheap.. and sometimes that's the reason I use something lol.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

I use something similar for my pizzas, or I think it is hehe, the biggest issue is lack of space, anything like that is very limited in size, and trying to do things like time dough so that I can cook one tray after another is challenging, which is why I was considering a big oven, to be able to bake 2/3 full trays at a time would save me a lot of time, its that whole, do I spend the money to save the time, because time is money! lol

They like weetbix which are a wheat based biscuit thing that goes to a sludge when wet hehe, potentially similar.

I found it didn't irritate me at all, but over the next few years, even though I didn't gain any weight it seemed to get too firm around my neck, so last year for my b'day I splurged and bought a slightly longer one with an extender, except once I got it it turned out I could wear it without the extender, so I put the extender on my existing one and now I have two hehe.

I liked how you jared after prepping all the instant porridge ingredients. I understand how kids are with portions and mess etc but I still don’t think I would have prepped filled the end three end jars. Perhaps choice of ingredient combo could be done from the original jars by the individual. Older ones can supervise the younger ones putting choices together. Sweetness is a preference, I know. I think too much emphasis on adding sugar into the mixtures. Don’t mean to be harsh, but meals without sugar to that degree would be better for them. I sound awful don’t I. I can’t help but think they’ll leave home and just be drawn to the sugary instant porridge sachets from the supermarket instead of learning to make porridge for breakfast. Sorry.

[@OurSmallFootprint]

They would end up adding more sugar than what I put in, its a kid thing, they think they need more, and then they make it inedible and then its wasted, by doing it like this it works better for portioning and less wastage :) I also did a really quick nutritional panel up to check the sugar per 100g in my base recipe in comparison to uncle toby's sachets and I'm already using just over half the sugar :) The kids know how to make real porridge, but it was -4 in my kitchen this morning, this is a much simpler thing for them for winter :)
