Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 1 cup of water, 1 cup of milk, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer while stirring occasionally.
Once it begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let the oats cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure a creamy texture.
After the oats have thickened to your desired consistency, remove the pan from the heat.

Taste the porridge and adjust the sweetness or spice levels if needed.
Divide the porridge evenly into two serving bowls.
Top each bowl with 0.5 cup of sliced bananas or berries and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts, if using.
Serve hot and enjoy your comforting bowl of oatmeal porridge.
