Ingredients
- ½ cup quick cooking oats or rolled oats
- 1 cup water or add as required
- ½ cup milk or water
- 2 tablespoons raw sugar or white sugar, add as per taste – optional
Instructions
- Take the oats in a pan. Add water and milk.
- The consistency can be easily adjusted as per your requirements. This recipe makes for a slightly thicker consistency. For a thinner consistency, you can add more milk or water.
- Add sugar. Sugar is completely optional. If adding fruits later, then you can skip adding sugar.
- If adding honey, then add when the porridge becomes lukewarm or cools down at room temperature, as honey becomes toxic on being heated.
- Stir very well and heat the porridge mixture on a low to medium flame.
- Do stir often and allow the porridge to simmer.
- It will also thicken as it cooks. Cook for a total of 5 to 6 minutes for quick cooking oats. If you have used rolled oats, cook for 10 to 12 minutes.
- If the consistency looks very thick, add some water or milk to thin it.
- When the oats have softened and you get the desired consistency, switch off the heat.
- Serve Oats Porridge hot or warm or at room temperature.
- If serving oats porridge at room temperature then do note that it will thicken more as it cools.
- If adding chopped fruits or berries, then add it when the porridge becomes lukewarm or cooled completely. You can also add chopped nuts or dried fruits of your choice.
