Oatmeal Waffles & Porridge Ice-Cream


Ingredients for the waffles:

1/4 cup medium ground oatmeal
3/4 fine ground oatmeal
1/2 cup plain flour, sieved
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
pinch of salt
3 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons caster sugar
1 cup milk
1 egg yolk
2 egg whites

To make the waffles:

1. Combine the dry ingredients (oatmeal, flour, cinnamon, bicarbonate of soda and salt)

2. In a jug, beat together the melted butter, sugar, milk and egg yolk

3. Whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks

4. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and gradually fold in the milk mixture

5. Turn on the waffle iron and allow to heat up

6. With a large metal spoon, gently fold the oatmeal mixture into the egg whites

7. Pour this mixture into the waffle iron and cook for 2 minutes (or as your waffle iron recommends) until the waffles are golden



Fruity Date Porridge Ice-Cream (thanks to Beckleberry's for the recipe):

75g Rude Health's Fruity Date porridge
260ml whole milk
284ml of double cream
300ml whole milk
115g caster sugar
3 large free-range egg yolks

To make the ice-cream:

1. Mix the porridge with the whole milk and allow it to infuse for 2-3 hours in the fridge

2. To cook the porridge, put the oats in a saucepan and bring to the boil then simmer gently for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally

3. Pour the cream and milk into a heavy-based pan and tip in half the sugar

4. Cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally, until it almost boils and then take off the heat

5. Put the egg yolks into a bowl with the rest of the sugar and beat for about 2 minutes until the mixture has thickened, is paler in colour and falls in thick ribbons. Scoop out about 125ml of the cream mixture and beat into the egg yolks to slacken them. Reheat the cream until it just comes to the boil, take off the heat and stir into the egg yolk mixture

6. Return to the pan and cook at a low heat, stirring all the time with a wooden spoon for 8-10 minutes, until thick enough to coat the back of the spoon

7. Pour the mix into a heatproof bowl, then sit in a bigger bowl one third full of iced water to cool. Stir occasionally. Put the mix in the fridge overnight

8. Take the mix out of the fridge and blend in the porridge until well mixed.

9. Get the ice-cream machine running and slowly pour in the cold mix. Leave to churn for 10-30 minutes (depending on your machine). Spoon into a plastic container, cover with cling film, then a lid and freeze for a minimum of 3 hours


Serve the waffles with a scoop of ice-cream, berry compote and syrup. Yum!
