Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
- 0.5 cup fresh fruit (e.g., bananas, berries, or sliced apples)
- 2 tablespoons nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, chia seeds, or sunflower seeds)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, and salt. Stir well to prevent clumping.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let the porridge simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid sticking. Cook until the oats reach a creamy consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the honey (or maple syrup) and ground cinnamon for a touch of sweetness and warmth.
Divide the cooked porridge into two bowls.
Top each serving with fresh fruit, nuts or seeds, and an additional drizzle of honey if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Luscious Oaty Porridge with a hot cup of tea or coffee.
