Pukkolla

July 28, 2010

I’ve tried Jamie Oliver’s recipe for Pukkolla and it’s great if:

  1. You have sweet berries available.
  2. You have enough time to do the grating (apples) and mashing (the bananas are SO much better mashed than sliced).
Jamie Oliver's Pukkolla
Jamie Oliver’s Pukkolla. My shortened version looks just like this without the berries and bananas! =P

However after trying several variations, I realized simplicity is still best! After all, why put in all the effort and spend more if it tastes even better without? Here’s my simplified version:

  • 8 large handfuls of organic rolled oats (used whole grain rolled oats)
  • 2 large handfuls of ground bran (used oat bran)
  • 1 handful of chopped dried raisins
  • Another handful of chopped dried fruit (any berry will do or even dried mangoes)
  • 1 handful of crumbled walnuts/unsalted roasted cashews
  • 1 handful of smashed or chopped almonds, hazelnuts or brazil nuts (or any other nut)
  1. Mix em all together in an airtight container (this is good for about a month)
  2. For breakfast the next few days, place a few servings in a container (I use Lock & Lock’s glass container with lid) and add milk just to cover
  3. Place in the fridge overnight
  4. Next day, take out the amount you need and put the rest back in the fridge, it keeps for 2 or 3 days.
  5. To serve: It will be a little thick so add more milk and enjoy!

This is so much better than any store-bought cereal or muesli I’ve ever had!

    Love!! I make my own granola so I love this…will try soon! And yes you are so right…homemade is really so much better, cheaper, plus you can choose what goes in it (like your favorite nuts and fruits) 🙂

      Hey joey! True that! I love that I can pick and choose the goodies that go in and also therefore it can be tailored to my budget. Sometimes I am cost cutting so I use raisins, but sometimes I like to splurge and add some dried blueberries. LOVE IT!

      I hope you like Pukkolla too! Please do take pictures when you do and share!
