Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- fresh fruit or nuts (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, milk, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Once the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer.
Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the oats are soft and the porridge reaches your desired thickness. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit for a minute to thicken slightly.
Stir in the honey or maple syrup to sweeten the porridge to your taste.
Serve the porridge hot, topped with your choice of fresh fruit or nuts if desired.
