Porridge oats in bowl, cover with boiling water, leave for two mins. Add milk, nukerowave for two mins, add a bit more milk and some chopped dates, nuke for another minute. Plenty of stirring throughout to stop it bubbling over. Add a banana if exercise is pending.

Cow - Heat - Drink

As apposed to cut

Nut, oil, gums, mix - Drink (i wont go into the process for oil and gums)

Milk is fine in a western diet, we have generally built up a tolerance to whatever it the the california fad people think otherwise.

I had blueberries in mine this morning.

So that's porridge oats, half-pint of milk, 2 tsp sugar, 2 mins in the microwave then a third of a tub of blueberries.

Very nice it was too.

60g oats, 400ml water, pinch of salt, 2tbsp chia seeds and a few pieces of frozen banana into a pan forms the base, then depending on my mood I will add either cinnamon and nutmeg or cocoa powder and heat it up. Once done, I'll top it with some berries and almond or peanut butter, maybe a little maple syrup. Very occasionally I'll swap the water out for soy or oat milk. Adventurous, I know.

Resurrecting this thread as I've been getting well in to Porridge. At the moment doing one cup old fashioned oats with around 1 and 1/3 cups milk, in a pan to get the consistency right. Then adding sultanas and banana.

Anyone got a good combos for me? Fancy taking a stab at some savoury recipes, but what things to be relatively simple. Hit me.

Two parts rolled oats;
Two parts water;
One part milk;
lashings of salt.

Simmer on medium hob until "stiff";
Served into bowl and left for 2 mins to firm,
During those 2 mins: warm a small amount of milk;

Pour warm milk to the edge of the bowl to float the porridge.

Spin the floating porridge once or twice :) prior to eating from the edges first...

Those who make porridge with just water
suspect you have to use a fine oatmeal to make this tolerable/creamy, as opposed to just becoming gruel

Gruel is a food consisting of some type of cereal—oat, wheat, or rye flour or rice—boiled in water or milk. It is a thinner version of porridge that may be more often drunk than eaten and may not need to be cooked
