During the winter months, we eat porridge and oats at least three times a week. I switch up the grains, change the produce, and use as many toppings as possible. We always have sweet potatoes on hand and usually puree pre-made, making this porridge a delicious breakfast option. If you have never tried einkorn before, breakfast is the perfect time. The wheat is mild but adds the perfect amount of warmth.
This einkorn porridge has many variations, all of which end up delicious. A couple of my favorite: Maple Carrot Cracked Oats with Warm Raisins or Sweet Potato Cracked Spelt with Toasted Walnuts.
Puree: Try using other vegetable puree, especially butternut squash or carrot.
Grains: Any type of hearty grain will work like this porridge: oats, spelt, farro, or millet.
Fruit: Drop the sweet potatoes from the porridge and top with roasted stone fruits, fresh berries, or a citrus curd.
There are so many different grains, and varieties of wheat, that I'm always switching up what I keep stocked in my pantry. Einkorn is such a wonderful grain that has a warm, buttery flavor. I find myself reaching for the flour more often than the whole grains but each has a place in my recipes.

Oh, yes this looks divine!!! Thank you so much for sharing!
this is certainly a step up from any porridge I've even made, especially since it features one of my favorites, sweet potatoes, and no have never worked with einkorn before, interesting, thank you!
