Porridge is a great way to start a cold winter morning. Oats are available at any large supermarket.
Ingredients
- Porridge oats (may just be labeled as oats) – about 3/4 cup per person
- Milk
- Optional: Banana, jam, chocolate spread
Cooking
Add the porridge oats to a pan. Add milk to the required consistency. Bring to a near boil, and then simmer for about 5 minutes.
Try adding pieces of banana when cooking to give a great alternative flavour. Smaller chunks dissolve, larger chunks do not. Also stir in a spoonful of jam or chocolate spread once in the serving bowl. Kids love jams, chocolate spread and banana added to the porridge.

Porridge
I found that letting the oats soak in the pan for a while helps to make them taste more creamy. I use skimmed milk (because i’m old) and add half a dessertspoonful of honey for sweetness and added energy. That’ll keep me going until lunchtime!
