Ingredients
 

  • 50 g medium oatmeal (porridge oats)
  • 150 ml mix of water and milk
  • pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • heat the oats with milk/water and pinch of salt over medium hear so that the porridge doesn't stick to the pan
  • The oats will soften as they soak up the liquid and it all comes together between 10-12 minutes or so
  • The porridge is ready when it is soft but not gone completely to mush. It's all a matter of taste.
  • serve with milk or yogurt and any toppings of nuts, fruit, jam etc that you fancy
