Oat Porridge is a warm, hearty, and nutritious breakfast made from oats, milk (or water), and various toppings. It’s versatile, customizable, and packed with fiber, making it a wholesome way to start your day.

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup rolled oats
    2 cups milk (or water for a lighter version)
    1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
    Pinch of salt
    Toppings of choice: fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, yogurt, nut butter, or dried fruit

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the oats, milk (or water), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  1. Once the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reached your desired consistency, stir in honey or maple syrup (if using) and cinnamon (optional). Continue to cook for another minute until fully combined.
  2. Spoon the porridge into bowls and add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, yogurt, or a dollop of nut butter. Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. Berry Oat Porridge: Add fresh or frozen berries as the porridge cooks for a fruity flavor.
  2. Savory Oat Porridge: Skip the sweeteners and cinnamon, and top with a fried egg, avocado, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  3. Apple Cinnamon: Add chopped apples and cinnamon for a fall-inspired version.
  4. Peanut Butter & Banana: Stir in peanut butter and top with sliced bananas and honey.
  5. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  6. Reheating: Reheat in the microwave or on the stove with extra milk or water until heated through.
