Guest Recipe: Blueberry Porridge Squares

I absolutely love all of Livia's recipes, every time I go to hers I seem to munch my way through her entire kitchen! These blueberry porridge squares are one of my absolute favourites though, so I'm really happy that she's shared them with us as her guest recipe. They're wonderfully simple, with only 5 ingredients, and they're so great if you're busy and on the go a lot. I've made lots of these before to have for breakfast when I'm in a rush and they're an absolute life saver!

Step-by-step

  • Preheat the oven to 180C and grease a brownie tin with a small amount of coconut oil
  • Add all the ingredients to a food processor except for the 60g of blueberries, which are to stir through later. Pulse everything a few times until the mix is nicely combined, but not totally smooth.
  • Transfer the mix to a bowl and stir through the extra blueberries. Then pour everything into the greased tray
  • Bake the mix for about 15 minutes, until the middle is cooked- you may need an extra few minutes
  • Leave to cool, before slicing into squares.

No more frantic morning scrambles for something to eat; just a quick pop in the microwave and I'm fueled up for the day. They’re perfect for those hectic mornings when every second counts.

The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility. You can easily adapt it to your dietary preferences. Prefer a different type of milk? Go for it! Want to add some chopped nuts for extra crunch? Absolutely! The base recipe is wonderfully adaptable, allowing you to create your own unique spin. I've even experimented with adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.

Beyond the convenience and adaptability, these squares are simply delicious. The combination of the soft, slightly chewy oat base and the bursts of juicy blueberries is utterly divine. It's the perfect balance of sweetness and wholesome goodness. They’re surprisingly satisfying, leaving me feeling full and energized without that mid-morning slump.

Tips and Variations:

  • Make it ahead: Prepare a batch on the weekend and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for the week.
  • Freeze for later: These squares freeze beautifully! Wrap individual squares in parchment paper and store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
  • Add-ins: Get creative! Experiment with different fruits, nuts, seeds, or spices to customize your squares.
  • Portion control: Cut the squares into smaller portions to control your serving size. They are quite filling, so be mindful of how many you eat!
