DIRECTIONS
- 1. Put a medium saucepan on heat. Add the oats and toast for a minute.
- 2. Add milk or water and bring to a boil. Quick-cooking oats will take about 5 minutes to cook whereas rolled oats will take longer. Read the package instructions for cooking time estimates.
- 3. Once the porridge comes to a boil cook on low heat and stir constantly so that it doesn’t stick to the bottom. Cook till the porridge is soft. Add salt & sugar as per taste. Add more milk / water if you prefer a creamier consistency.
- 4. To give variation to your porridge you can add cinnamon for flavor and honey for sweetness.
- 5. Serve the porridge hot or cold. Top with a drizzle of honey, caramel sauce or fresh fruits. Cinnamon, honey and banana go really well together. Apples, walnut and honey are a delicious combination also.
Notes:
Use the basic porridge recipe as a base and then experiment with the toppings as per your personal preference. Spice it with some cardamom or cinnamon. Serve with seasonal fresh fruits and top with nuts for crunch.
