Does porridge even need a recipe? I’m not sure! But I’m often asked how I make mine, so here’s a very short recipe below. The basic principle I use is that I begin by filling a cup with porridge oats, then fill the same cup firstly with water, then again with milk (or dairy free version) so there ends up being twice the quantity of liquid to oats.
Recipe - Simple Porridge
Serves 2
Ingredients:
110g porridge oats
250ml water
250ml milk (or dairy free alternative)
Optional toppings: drizzle of honey (or maple syrup), scatter of toasted seeds, compote, yogurt, edible flower
Method:
1. Place the oats, water and milk in a saucepan over a low heat.
2. Cook for approx 6 minutes, stirring regularly, until liquid has been absorbed and oats have softened.
3. Serve in bowls with your favourite seasonal toppings.
