This is surprisingly quick to make, particularly in comparison to chia porridge, a minute to grind a d a minute to cook in the microwave. Only one bowl to wash up. Keeps ok so you can make enough for a fdw days .
It is best to buy whole flax seeds and grind them as neeeded as ground flaxseed (flaxseed meal) goes rancid fairly quickly. I didn’t like flax seeds at all until I started grinding my own but you do need a good grinder, the food processor just takes them for the little ride. For small quantities the grinding attachment on the Bamix is perfect.
Chia and flax are so healthy that I about to try mixing the cooked flax seeds with soaked chia for a double dose of goodness at breakfast. Like a chia/flax bircher.
