Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, milk, and salt.

Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the oats are soft and the porridge reaches your desired thickness. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit for a minute to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Serve the porridge hot, topped with your choice of fresh fruit or nuts if desired.
