Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (or your choice of plant-based milk)
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup fresh fruit of choice (e.g., sliced bananas, berries)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts or seeds (optional, e.g., almonds, walnuts, chia)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and water, and place the pan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the brown sugar (or honey), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the pan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and let the porridge simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats are soft and the porridge has thickened to your desired consistency.
Step 5
Remove the pan from the heat and let the porridge sit for 1-2 minutes to cool slightly. This will ensure it's not too hot and just right!
Step 6
Divide the porridge evenly into two serving bowls.
Step 7
Top with your choice of fresh fruit, chopped nuts or seeds, and an extra drizzle of honey or a pinch of cinnamon, if desired.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy your perfectly balanced Goldilock's Porridge.
