This porridge is a great make-ahead breakfast. You can make it the night before and then just reheat it in the morning.

I'm not a big fan of cinnamon, so I omitted it from the recipe. The porridge was still delicious without it.

I made this porridge in a slow cooker and it turned out great. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker before I went to bed and it was ready when I woke up in the morning.

This porridge is a great way to get your daily dose of fiber. Barley is a good source of soluble fiber, which can help to lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
