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.
