• Add 1 cup water to a sauce pan and let it boil.
• Add ½ cup rolled oats to it.
• Add 1 cup milk to it. You can cook completely in milk too. Use fresh boiled milk.
• Give a quick mix and cook in low medium flame.
• Note : The measure of milk and water depends on the variety of oats used so change it accordingly.
• Keep cooking it starts to thicken and the liquid will be absorbed by oats.
• See the texture it is still not soft and cooked fully.
• Keep cooking until most of the liquid is absorbed and oats turns soft and slightly mushy.
• After 5 minutes oats is cooked soft and is slightly mushy. You can mash it slightly if you prefer to have it that way.
• Oats porridge is almost ready. If you like it more mushy then cook for 2 more minutes.
• Add 1 tablespoon sugar to it.
• Give a quick mix and switch off. Oatmeal porridge is ready!
• Scoop it to a bowl. Top it with fruits, nuts, drizzle honey and serve! I added chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds, fresh strawberries and finally drizzled honey. You can add any topping of your preference.
