Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 3 cups milk (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 whole banana, sliced (optional topping)
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (optional topping)
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and let the oats simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the porridge reaches your desired consistency.
Stir in the honey, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Divide the porridge into three bowls, one for each 'bear'.
Customize each bowl with your preferred toppings, such as sliced banana, fresh berries, or chopped nuts.
Serve immediately and enjoy while warm. Remember, one bowl might be too hot, one might be too cold, but the third should be just right!
