Chef's tips
- Use full-fat milk for a richer, creamier texture.
- For a thicker result, use a 1:1 ratio of oats to milk.
- Pre-warm your bowls with hot water for a cozier serving.
- Stir honey into the hot porridge, not the berries, to keep the fruit fresh.
Swap it
- Oats
- Swap rolled oats for instant oats, but reduce cooking time to 1 minute.
- Milk
- Use any plant-based milk; unsweetened soy is the closest match.
- Honey
- Substitute maple syrup or a drizzle of golden syrup.
- Fruit
- Replace berries with 1/2 cup diced stewed apples or canned peaches.
