397 - DIY Instant Porridge Flavours for the kids! DITL Off Grid Kitchen, from scratch - Australia

Hey Everyone!

I actually did voiceovers for two videos, but the one that was supposed to go out before this the sound was damaged, so I've had to swap them, I don't think it makes a diff with these two lol!

The kids love porridge, I hate making porridge in below 0 temps lol, so I wanted to make them porridge they could make themselves and they love to make it as a snack on a cold afternoon as well! win win.

The basic ratios are as follows, but of course, flavours, sweetness and amount of milk powder is to your taste, I will keep on trying new flavours and maybe do a pdf up with all the flavour variations we try!

per 600g of instant oats - I grind rolled oats in my Thermomix
100-150g of sugar - to taste, 150 is definitely a bit sweeter than I like, but I am starting higher for the kids and pulling it back as I go, I tend to just use brown sugar in all because I like the flavour.
150-200g milk powder - I use coconut milk powder from Hello Pure, the lower end would probably be fine for cows milk powder, the coconut milk powder has a lighter taste to it I find!
40-50g each of Chocolate Peanut butter Powder and ground up banana chips for the choc banana
40-50g each of the plain Peanut Butter Powder and Ground up freeze dried/dehydrated berries for the PB&J
Higher point of milk powder and 10-20g of cinnamon for Brown Sugar/Cinnamon!

I am considering soaking some plain oats overnight and mixing up a batch of the sugar/flavour and they can just put a tablespoon on soaked oats with boiling water, seeing what the texture is like, but as I said in the video, I find having things premade and set up means less wastage and better portion control :)

The website still has A LOT to go on it, there is a lot of dead links and empty space and even some 'sample stuff' from the template I bought, but if you'd like to look at how a sample recipe will look, here's a link and feedback is always welcome :)

Nyssa, part of what is so appealing about your videos is the fact that they are in-the-moment-organic and NOT on-purpose cooking videos. Your vids are truly unique, inspiring, and entertaining as well. For me, the single subject cooking videos can get old after a while - repetitive, stale and boring. So, keep doing you, I really enjoy your vids. That garlic butter/spread looked sooo yummy. Thanx for the video :)

No matter the length of your videos we will always watch them. We are die hard fans here. I definitely think the cooker would be a great investment for you. You make everything from scratch, so it just makes sense. Maybe we could all chip in and help with some of the cost.

[dibailey]

I just want to reiterate what other commenters have said... the cooking show style videos aren't real life or realistic. Your audience enjoys your style and we don't want you to change. You've created your own niche and I think you should run with it. :)

Your slap dash is heads above what else is out there.

I love the raw and the realness that’s what keeps me coming back!!!

[lethaharris]

I just absolutely love everything about your videos ❤❤❤❤❤ . My goodness you are so motivating I don't think you know how much you are very appreciated!!! Thank you Nyssa !!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[elainecoad]

We all love that your kitchen is real! You are not doing a show, you are cooking meals for your family to eat that day. Any food prep or Canning you can get done in your day is a bonus for you and us.
Just stay as you are, we love you

[sylviahufer]

I agree with the amount of cooking you do a commercial 6 or 8 burner would be perfect for you, the initial cost would be expensive but I’m sure you wouldn’t regret it in the long run .

[jeanz]

Re al life is good. I believe it's so much more relatable to most peoples lives. Thank you for being you.

Whatever you decide to film is great with me!

"You get what you get" what we get is excellent. Never doubt your content, it is informative, educational and inspiring. The porridge mixes looked fantastic 👍

[donnalaird]

Love your videos…do you…don’t compare yourself with others. I think you do a wonderful job!

[teresa]

I absolutely love that you are real ❤️

Curated and set up content all starts to look the same after a while, so even when you cook similar meals, it’s all unique because you are filming in your authentic moments.

Thank you for that ❤

I want to add to others saying we love your in the moment videos of real life. If I wanted to watch a cookery show there’s millions on the web I could watch. I love watching how you cook but I also love that there’s all the other stuff too so please don’t stress about it. Take care x

The different styles of videos on YouTube do different things for audiences. We watch your videos to share in the things you and the fam get up to. And often those things will inspire us to give something new a go... like that yummy loaded potato soup you shared. After watching your video, I went to other vids and some recipes on line for more of the detailed howto instructions so we could give it a go. But the howto videos, we don't come back to and engage with like we do your channel. I liken your channel to others we watch ongoing, like 3 Rivers Homestead, where it is your ongoing journey we are following along with. We root for you guys when planting gardens or building. And get ideas from your kitchen shares. I wouldn't change a thing Nyssa and the success of your channel is a testimate to that 😊

[michelleslow]

I ❤ your videos there real no influencers BS

[sherriekemper]

This was quite a full day, I'm exhausted just watching! You make beautiful food and I think your family is very lucky. I'm lucky to receive your videos. Thank you.

[heatherchambers]

Keep doing what you are doing. It is your real life that you are graciously sharing with all of us and we are here for it 😊

[elizaC]

As always another great video Nyssa!!😊

[cheryljohnson]

It's a pleasure to watch your videos.
