Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead?

Yes. Store in an airtight container and add a splash of water or milk when reheating on the stove.

Are frozen blueberries okay?

Absolutely. Add them frozen during the cooking process; they will release their juices and turn the porridge a lovely purple hue.

Is this gluten-free?

Oats are naturally gluten-free, but always look for the 'certified gluten-free' label on the package to ensure no cross-contamination occurred during processing.
