My British husband cooked porridge every morning. He would soak the oats in water overnight, then add a little evaporated milk and fresh blueberries to the pot in the morning. He would stir the porridge with a beautiful spurtle topped with a carved thistle. Whenever I found Lyles syrup in a store, I would surprise him with a can or two. We were married 39 years before he died, and aside from vacations away from home, this is how he started each day.
+Jason Federici you need to learn humour my friend . I love olive oil and I'm fully aware of its health benefits but I wouldn't want to eat it on my corn flakes . This chef uses it to excess in everything during cooking and after as a dressing . He's well known for it. So please don't throw insults around when it's not justified
I followed your instructions step by step and it's the first time I make such a delicious porridge. I wanted to stop using milk and your recipe was just perfect. I never thought of adding a pinch of sea salt, completely new for me. I'm Argentinian and lived in London for a while and used to enjoy porridge a lot! Thanks, James!
I eat apple pie porridge: Make the porridge as Jamie said (but with milk not water) Half way through cooking add in tiny pieces of diced apple Add cinnamon and nutmeg Once apple is soft and porridge is cooked, pour into a big bowl and enjoy :P
+Hermetic Kitten Your most welcome! Its simple and good for you, so I can pretty much see why someone can eat it everyday.Interesting thing is that in other countries "porridge" is oats.Where I come from, porridge is in a watery rice form.
Hi Jamie, made the porridge just the way you showed it and while it was still warm in the pan I added 1 small apple peeled and chopped, a handful of golden raisins and slivered almonds. A pinch of cinnamon and vanilla extract. Then served it up with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dollop of jam. Husband loved it. Thank you!
Just wanna say that ever since I found this video a few years ago my mornings have consistently included porridge. My personal twist is with a splash of milk and a spoonful of greek yogurt, with a tablespoon of whatever jam i have handy. Delicious and nutritious!
I’ve been using Sicilian orange curd and poppy seeds. Absolutely amazing. This video was great because it shows how endless the possibilities are with porridge and that there probably isn’t a right or wrong way to cook it, it’s all up to the individual and how they like it.
I think quite a few people dislike oatmeal because this dish actually doesn't tolerate mediocrity at all. And most things these days are done too quickly and too cheap.
Absolutely loved it! Tried today three ways of dressing and it was fantastic! Normally I hate porridge cause what mom used to do when I was little was disgusting. And today I've emptied my plate pretty fast. Look forward to new mornings with healthy breakfasts. Thanx Jamie!
Elena Kameneva I'm the opposite, I loved the way my mum made it when I was a child and came here for the recipe (golden syrup version) Mum can't remember how she used to make it lol. Btw, it's SO easy to over estimate the quantity of one serving, porridge is so darn filling 🐸
anyone else watching this while quarantine in 2020 . T....T Edit: Cannot believe it’s 2021 & I’m still watching this in isolation:) the only difference is that iv mastered making porridges! I just come here sometimes bcs i like Jamie’s accent and his builders mugs..
I like how you added the milk later. I'm trying to lower my diary intake so that's a great tip! Personally, I just add cinnamon and 3 Sukkari dates (Type of Saudi Dates) and a full spoon of peanut butter.
Jamie Oliver, you're brilliant! I'm so glad I discovered your Foodtube videos. My favorites are the ones where you demonstrate how to prepare a particular food in a variety of ways. I also love how you reference the cooking techniques of different countries. Very educational and inspiring! You're a wonderful chef and a delight to watch. Cheers from the states!!
People often overlook the goodness of savoury oatmeal but it’s just as delicious as the sweet kind. Mushrooms,spinach,oregano and basil oatmeal topped with a tablespoon of tahini or Greek yogurt is simply delicious.
I'm from Yemen and we have a dish we eat every Ramadan similar to. Savoury porridge with meat and topped with green onions it's delicious especially with lime juice or. Vinegar mixed in
I've been watching you for years now Mr. Oliver and I gotta say I really like you and your cooking videos. They're always a good way to relax whether you just want to relax or you had a tough day. 😊🤗 I even prefer your videos to music most of the time!! Your videos are also very inspiring, I have tried out a lot of stuff and everything was great!! Really, I can't remember anything or any recipe that failed me. 👍 👌 So thank you Jamie for what you do, it's just such a great thing that we can learn from you and your friends!! 😃😃
HI Nice! Might try that. I make mine with added almond meal and sweeten with a fresh Medjool date, and sprinkled cinnamon. No cane sugar, milk or honey needed. Delish!
I’m Italian and I love porridge, I actually doing it kind of mixing 2 ways he said, I mix it with a tsp of unsweetened cocoa, a bit of cinnamon and spice chilli powder, maple syrup and sliced banana on top I love it, that little spice in the morning is a lovely kickstart
I usually make morning porridge from rice or multigrain flakes (with cinnamon and vanillin) and add nutbutter with banana chips, or apples, or pear. My favorite porridge for dinner or lunch is buckwheat with lecho or vegetable stew and boiled eggs. P.S. Sorry for my grammar mistakes - English isn't my mother tongue
Right. I was just remembering reading the fairy tale about the magic porridge pot that overflowed the town with porridge when it wouldn't stop and thinking porridge was this amazing thing.
These look amazing 🤤 I usually grate an apple in while cooking, maybe add some banana if I want it extra sweet, put in cinnamon at the end and after cooking I like adding a spoonful of greek yoghurt. Sounds like a weird mix, but it tastes delicious, trust me 😁
I am going to try this, sounds great! I eat rolked oats, soajed overnight with yoghurt and apple regularly, but cold. I think I will love the hot version.
We love the same porridge Brand. I am enjoying a savory porridge made with Lacto free milk. Salt ,black pepper, chilly, cayan pepper two eggs ,a nub of butter and two tablespoons of grated hard cheese a dash of olive oil. It is so creamy and delicious. I derived this when a savory omelette recipe I had followed got stuck to my frying pan. Then woke another day craving the same taste. Decided to just stir and hey presto! It has taken me 60 years to discover savoury porridge. Better late than never. Love you Jamie.😊🙏🏿🥰 I too am a fan of chocolate porridge. I stir it in whilst it cooks adding cinnamon, vanilla essence and nutmeg. Possibly even raisins or coconut. Porridge is limitless. Enjoy.xx
My favourite is with soy milk, which is not quite as rich as normal milk but also not quite like using water. Depending on my mood I sometimes cook it quicker to have a more coarse porridge or give it time for a smoother one. I also love using different flakes instead of just oat. I have spelt flakes for example that give the porridge a bit of a heartier taste. And mixing up fine and coarse oats for different textures. For flavour I always put it quite heavy amounts of cinnamon, a nice bit of maple syrup, agave nectar or brown sugar(we don't really have golden sryup here). Topped with some kind of fruit, best a quick berry sauce like shown in the video or an apple compote. If I have good fruit at home fresh is perfect of course.
@@serixaqua Thank you! I learnt something new today. So - a builder's mug is a colloquial term used in the UK for a large ceramic mug typically used by construction workers to have a cup of strong tea while working. And the standard builder's mug is 300ml. I got all this on Google today, and it's thanks to you (because I thought all along that I had not heard Jamie correctly)
I have porridge on weekday mornings. Like Jamie, I prepare it with water and a smidge of salt. I sometimes add various items such as blueberries, prunes etc. My favourite is to stir in cinnamon and then chopped figs half away through the cooking so that they soften and plump up. I finish with splash of milk into it. It's so lovely.
My mother used to cook porridge in a double saucepan, she started early morning so it was ready for our breakfast. Never boiled over, it was creamy and so good. Half and half milk and water with the top of the milk poured on top once it was dished out. I made it like that for my kids and my grandchildren.
I once was so bored at Heathrow (after spending more than 5 hours there), I went to one of the restaurants and ordered the cheapest thing they had (because I was kinda poor, a student but didnt wana just wait arround anymore. It was a 9 euro porrigde! Crasy stupid expensive porrige! But what they added on it was lovely and I've done it several times at home after that: Just top the porrige with: Slices of 4-5 fresh strawberries,. slices of half a banana, some maple syrup and some sunflower seeds, I'd say about 2 tablespoons. You can even roast them a but for a nutties flavour. It was awesome. But still bloody expensive.
i have my porridge with dates, apples, figs, bananas, blueberries and flaxseeds. sometimes i add cocoa powder to it and it tastes amazing!!! cinneamon and a pinch of salt and pepper always goes in there :)
I like to boil my water first, throw in the oats, bring it back to the boil and turn it off. I let it sit until it has nearly absorbed all the water, add a couple tablespoons of powdered coconut milk and two tablespoons of brown sugar mix and eat (straight out of the pot because I don't share). If it's Summer and I can get fresh peaches then I dice one up and throw it in.
I start cooking my oatmeal just like Jamie does. But I usually add one whole banana sliced and a few pieces of good quality dark chocolate. No need to add sugar as the banana is sweet enough. It's like having dessert for breakfast. Very satisfying 👌
I love this video! It resets me, I start cooking like this, and then drift away. But this is the best! I add some vegan yogurt, almond butter, raspberries, blueberries and half of banana. And of course some honey. Keeps me full till lunch, the best breakfast.
I usually have porridge super simple - oats cooked in water with 1/3 of a banana and the rest of it cut up on top once it's done or oats cooked in water with loads of cinnamon and a cut up apple (a healthy apple pie nearly haha), but I used to love having porridge with a medley of frozen berries on top and a big dollop of 100% peanut butter until one time I dropped it onto the carpet and haven't been able to bring myself to indulge in it since
My mother cooks it with milk instead of water and cooks a banana cut in small pieces with it. Love it with cinnamon and sugar. Perfect for winter eve's.
BurninRevolver It probably depends where you live - here its about R55 for a litter - around 5$ - thats decent - compared to regular milk its expensive - I also use rice milk - these days I like the rice milk more
I always have porridge every day, i add a teaspoon of ground flax seed and a teaspoon of chia seeds, handful of blueberries and a chopped banana, then the icing on the cake is a tablespoon of peanut butter. It’s gorgeous!
Zoid Burg The oats people use are usually almost 'dead' because they have been pasteurized. Soaking, fermenting and sprouting is good against phytic acid as far as I know. I soak other grains for 5-12 hours, oat grains are lighter (according to the German Dr. Bruker who was an expert in this field and studied Bircher Benner's muesli) and need less time to soak and be well digestible.
Nimity Tei If you have whole oat groats, you must first flake them by using an oat roller. I let mine fall from the machine (I have one called Flocino) into a dish with some water to prevent oxidation of the flakes. They should soak 30 min. to 1 hour. All of them should be just moist. Don't use too much water. Then add sweet fruits and raw nuts to enjoy it. ;) It is a light meal (you don't feel it in the stomach) but I feel hunger only after 4-5 hours. Feel free to ask more if you need help.
Love it ,I have just stated using the porridge as a savory instead of rice, spiced up and use beef or chicken broth instead of water. Thanks for your tips .
I like that comment about putting the "gully" into the porridge then adding milk. That's what my mum always did too (she'd just call it "roads"). Completely forgot about that little tradition until it was mentioned here.
Loved the new topping ideas Jamie : ) I’ve been making porridge used natural organic muesli , it’s got all the bells and whistles already in and tastes fantastic with yoghurt
I make a savory oatmeal dish boiling the oats in chicken stock ( store bought or home-made but i use the Kirkland brand chicken stock from Costco, it's so tasty with the oats) and then add in any preferred veg and chicken/shrimp, salt and spices to taste and it's soo good, especially if you want something filling but you're trying to lose weight. I've seen this done with soft boiled eggs as well but haven't tried that yet. It's basically a substitute to rice but obviously its a porridge.
Sometimes I will have savoury porridge, with an easy-over egg and a slice of bacon, plus black pepper and salt to taste. The runny yolk drizzles over the porridge - it's so silky! #myperfectporridge
I’m from the Scottish highlands and after doing a 12.5 hour night shift as a nurse there was nothing better than porridge with honey and a wee bit of cream as a topping. Amazing.
I like grated fresh ginger and ground cloves for “Ginger snap” porridge decorate with fresh fruit in summer or dried fruit in winter. Really nice on rainy days.
I love to make porridge and top it with sliced banana, dark chocolate, strawberries and blueberries if we have any. So tasty and fills me up for hours 😊
I have porridge no matter what season! Big mug of oats, almost a mug of milk, microwave for 2 mins delish!! Add chia seeds sometimes cinnamon or maple syrup if having it as “snack” before a work out/long walk 😉
I eat my porridge with cocoa powder, cinnamon, bit of maple syrup and a pinch of salt for i think about a year now as my breakfast and I just never get tired of it, it is so delicious I love it :-)
Thank you for this! I had just attempted my first ever porridge this morning, and thought the consistency wasn't right. I know why now. I think I'll try your recipe the next time I want a good, quick and healthy breakfast for my little one!
I love porridge! Been eating it everyday for breakfast :’D (that’s called variety...) and I love to make it with vanilla pudding (custard? English isn’t my first language lol) so it doubles in volume and is still really tasty!
I make mine with diced peach slices (75gm), mango purée (25gm) and vanilla custard (125ml) with 30gm of rolled oats. I live in a warm climate so , as crazy as this sounds, I top the hot porridge with a big scoop of ice cream 😊
You want to add the salt at the end after the oats have already cooked. If you add it at the start, they won't get as creamy because pentosans - the gum inside the oats that binds with water and makes that creaminess - will not be able to bond with the water, because the salt will bond to it instead. Probably not as big a problem for rolled oats as steel cut but still, salt at the end is better.
I just prepared a beautiful organic steel cooked oat porridge this morning with smooshed banana, broken walnut kernels and Pure Canadian Maple syrup. Steel cooked oats are incredibly healthy and give next level nutty chewiness and texture. I simmer 1 cup of grains for 15-20 minutes in 2.5 cups of water and 1 cup of unsweetened oat milk with a 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt. It’s so delicious. Love to know what you think if you try this. Stay well 🥰💝
I usually make porridge with almond milk, it is the most delicious porridge ever! The consistency is really creamy and it's almost like a soft pudding! You should definitively give it a try!
My British husband cooked porridge every morning. He would soak the oats in water overnight, then add a little evaporated milk and fresh blueberries to the pot in the morning.

Are you sure that was a dish of porridge you just cooked?
@@anointedone6697 yes that's porridge champ.
I love this comment.
Wow
My god , it's the first time I've seen Jamie cook anything without drowning it in olive oil! Brilliant
+Gixer750pilot Don't go giving him ideas now
+Gixer750pilot that's because olive oil is good for you
+Jason Federici 😂wow

My father had porridge every morning for 92 years, and a boiled egg, soda bread and tea at 8am precisely.
Having a breakfast like that am sure your dad must be a healthy man.
Bridget Carr Your father ate porridge, eggs, and tea as an infant?
In 1915 there was nothing else to eat only these items and potatoes.
What is soda bread?
Soda bread involves using a small amount of bicarbonate of soda , salt, wheat flour and buttermilk to make delicious Irish soda bread. No yeast.
... and then finish 'em off with some beautiful extra virgin olive oil
+Karl Bet it would be good though haha..
+Karl And maybe some Rosemary, and bay leaf.
muzosh And why not a juicy steak on top of that?

muzosh Wine porridge, that would be something to try out :)
i love that he shows so many ways of finishing it off and with other recipes too, it's becoming a Jamie speciality.
I followed your instructions step by step and it's the first time I make such a delicious porridge. I wanted to stop using milk and your recipe was just perfect. I never thought of adding a pinch of sea salt, completely new for me. I'm Argentinian and lived in London for a while and used to enjoy porridge a lot! Thanks, James!
I eat apple pie porridge:
Make the porridge as Jamie said (but with milk not water)
Half way through cooking add in tiny pieces of diced apple
Add cinnamon and nutmeg
Once apple is soft and porridge is cooked, pour into a big bowl and enjoy :P
I use a half and half blend of water and milk or milk and apple juice for apple pie porridge.
My favorite way to eat porridge is to first just make it like Jamie does (A.k.a very very nice), then melt some chocolate and then mix it togehter :P
We boil it with milk and cinnamon sticks sometimes a few raisens.
This was genius, had it this morning!
im trying this.

I think quite a few people dislike oatmeal because this dish actually doesn't tolerate mediocrity at all. And most things these days are done too quickly and too cheap.
Because it kind of feels like an old timey thing to eat. They also probably don't know how to make it interesting.

Hi Jamie oliver I love your ideas of porridge it looks fantastic and amazing
I like to boil my water first, throw in the oats, bring it back to the boil and turn it off. I let it sit until it has nearly absorbed all the water, add a couple tablespoons of powdered coconut milk and two tablespoons of brown sugar mix and eat (straight out of the pot because I don't share). If it's Summer and I can get fresh peaches then I dice one up and throw it in.
I start cooking my oatmeal just like Jamie does. But I usually add one whole banana sliced and a few pieces of good quality dark chocolate. No need to add sugar as the banana is sweet enough. It's like having dessert for breakfast. Very satisfying 👌
Good idea for fall and winter breakfast.
Peanut butter and dessicated coconut - tastes amazing!
Thank you so much for this! I am eating porridge every day now, so yummy for the tummy!😁
I love this video! It resets me, I start cooking like this, and then drift away. But this is the best! I add some vegan yogurt, almond butter, raspberries, blueberries and half of banana. And of course some honey. Keeps me full till lunch, the best breakfast.
I usually have porridge super simple - oats cooked in water with 1/3 of a banana and the rest of it cut up on top once it's done or oats cooked in water with loads of cinnamon and a cut up apple (a healthy apple pie nearly haha), but I used to love having porridge with a medley of frozen berries on top and a big dollop of 100% peanut butter until one time I dropped it onto the carpet and haven't been able to bring myself to indulge in it since
I do it my way, the Canadian way, with some maple syrup :-)
My mother cooks it with milk instead of water and cooks a banana cut in small pieces with it. Love it with cinnamon and sugar. Perfect for winter eve's.
Yum Yum, we're definitely a porridge family here.
I add almond milk to mine when cooking - so yummy :)
isnt that very expensive? I once had to sell half my lifer to buy a gallon
nah, its really not
BurninRevolver It probably depends where you live - here its about R55 for a litter - around 5$ - thats decent - compared to regular milk its expensive - I also use rice milk - these days I like the rice milk more
Alésha Bredell $5 for a litre of almond milk? In the U.K. it's 99p for a litre.
@@BurninRevolver it's not expensive
I always have porridge every day, i add a teaspoon of ground flax seed and a teaspoon of chia seeds, handful of blueberries and a chopped banana, then the icing on the cake is a tablespoon of peanut butter.
It’s gorgeous!
I don't know what to say, I'm so glad with these options thanks alot
I like the hot stewed fruit topping, tastes great on porridge. thanks
I eat porridge every day but never thought it could be cooked so delicious different ways Thanks
oatmeal is awesome because it's high carb AND pretty high in protein (a vegan's best friend)
Yeah, and phytic acid... Even if you soak them it doesn't eliminate it. FAR from a perfect vegan food.
Zoid Burg The oats people use are usually almost 'dead' because they have been pasteurized. Soaking, fermenting and sprouting is good against phytic acid as far as I know. I soak other grains for 5-12 hours, oat grains are lighter (according to the German Dr. Bruker who was an expert in this field and studied Bircher Benner's muesli) and need less time to soak and be well digestible.
+Sandra Carli how long should you soak oats?
Nimity Tei If you have whole oat groats, you must first flake them by using an oat roller. I let mine fall from the machine (I have one called Flocino) into a dish with some water to prevent oxidation of the flakes. They should soak 30 min. to 1 hour. All of them should be just moist. Don't use too much water. Then add sweet fruits and raw nuts to enjoy it. ;) It is a light meal (you don't feel it in the stomach) but I feel hunger only after 4-5 hours. Feel free to ask more if you need help.
***** hey thanks for the reply, but doesnt the cooking process already get rid of phytic acid? can i still cook them after i soak them?
Love it ,I have just stated using the porridge as a savory instead of rice, spiced up and use beef or chicken broth instead of water. Thanks for your tips .
You're welcome
I like that comment about putting the "gully" into the porridge then adding milk. That's what my mum always did too (she'd just call it "roads"). Completely forgot about that little tradition until it was mentioned here.
Loved the new topping ideas Jamie : ) I’ve been making porridge used natural organic muesli , it’s got all the bells and whistles already in and tastes fantastic with yoghurt
I make a savory oatmeal dish boiling the oats in chicken stock ( store bought or home-made but i use the Kirkland brand chicken stock from Costco, it's so tasty with the oats) and then add in any preferred veg and chicken/shrimp, salt and spices to taste and it's soo good, especially if you want something filling but you're trying to lose weight. I've seen this done with soft boiled eggs as well but haven't tried that yet. It's basically a substitute to rice but obviously its a porridge.
Thanks for the idea !
Looks great! I recently began eating oatmeal (I'm in U.S.) and never realized how many ways you can customize it. Thanks for the ideas!
This recipe was amazing! So simple yet creamy and satisfying! I'm having it now as I type :3
Sometimes I will have savoury porridge, with an easy-over egg and a slice of bacon, plus black pepper and salt to taste. The runny yolk drizzles over the porridge - it's so silky! #myperfectporridge
goodness..i'm going to try this!
Hello from Paraguay!
I've found the authentic recipe I love the most! Greetings!
I’m from the Scottish highlands and after doing a 12.5 hour night shift as a nurse there was nothing better than porridge with honey and a wee bit of cream as a topping. Amazing.
My favourite one is with peanut butter and blackberry marmelade. Whole blackberries and honey would be also great, I think.
I like grated fresh ginger and ground cloves for “Ginger snap” porridge decorate with fresh fruit in summer or dried fruit in winter. Really nice on rainy days.
I love to make porridge and top it with sliced banana, dark chocolate, strawberries and blueberries if we have any. So tasty and fills me up for hours 😊
great video as usual, very informative, to the point, every day cooking. love it. keep them coming Jamie. :)
Watching in 2021. It's all we're gonna be able to eat pretty soon, yay ! 🥳
I love add a Granny Smith apple and walnuts to my porridge ❤
I have porridge no matter what season! Big mug of oats, almost a mug of milk, microwave for 2 mins delish!! Add chia seeds sometimes cinnamon or maple syrup if having it as “snack” before a work out/long walk 😉
I eat my porridge with cocoa powder, cinnamon, bit of maple syrup and a pinch of salt for i think about a year now as my breakfast and I just never get tired of it, it is so delicious I love it :-)
ok so I just realized that I've always had porridge for breakfast
and I didn't even know the name of this meal lol
Great video btw
are you like, 6 years old?
@@DanteLikesRock ok that was rude. No, I'm not, but I'm from a country where porridge is a very unusual meal
Same we call it havermout !!!!
Those all look so good...
Thanks for this recipe! I love eating porridge but never knew how to make it properly. I'll try to make it this way next time. Cheers!
Me watching this is me learning how to be an adult
Same
cringe, get a life already
@@Anudorini-Talah Only cringeworthy thing here is your heartless commentary :)
Urukosh ! Your comment made me cringe
Bunch of babies who cringe too much...and apparently have no idea what it means to be an adult.
Thank you for this! I had just attempted my first ever porridge this morning, and thought the consistency wasn't right. I know why now. I think I'll try your recipe the next time I want a good, quick and healthy breakfast for my little one!
I love your ideas, Jamie! I cook in a retirement home, n I love all the ideas I can get!
"Milk burns easily"
I've been making my own porridge since the age of 8, and never once burned it.
Right? Love the flavour ideas, but cooked in water ?!? no!
@@catbaril9072 actually I'm now only cooking it in water because idk I got too lazy to buy new milk
My gran showed me how to make proper porridge always with milk makes it creamy, couldnt eat it made with water looks too thick and stodgy..
Same
I can't eat oatmeal made with water, but it's delicious even without toppings
Cringe same oatmeal with water tastes disgusting
I’ve been eating porridge for years, my favourite is cinnamon and honey with blueberries sprinkled on the top
Hey! You are the best porridge maker that I have ever seen.👍👍👍
I love porridge! Been eating it everyday for breakfast :’D (that’s called variety...) and I love to make it with vanilla pudding (custard? English isn’t my first language lol) so it doubles in volume and is still really tasty!
Omg I thought I was the only person who does that, or try adding vanilla custard rice pudding it’s sooooo gooood
I make mine with diced peach slices (75gm), mango purée (25gm) and vanilla custard (125ml) with 30gm of rolled oats. I live in a warm climate so , as crazy as this sounds, I top the hot porridge with a big scoop of ice cream 😊
How much Pudding do you use? a teaspoon? how do you add it?
if you're gonna use the bigger "jumbo" oats it's a good idea to soak them for a while
Been cooking the chocolate & marmalade one every morning its amazing favourite breakfast thank you will be trying out the rest too!
You want to add the salt at the end after the oats have already cooked. If you add it at the start, they won't get as creamy because pentosans - the gum inside the oats that binds with water and makes that creaminess - will not be able to bond with the water, because the salt will bond to it instead. Probably not as big a problem for rolled oats as steel cut but still, salt at the end is better.
Thank you
I will try that tomorrow morning. 🤤
I just prepared a beautiful organic steel cooked oat porridge this morning with smooshed banana, broken walnut kernels and Pure Canadian Maple syrup. Steel cooked oats are incredibly healthy and give next level nutty chewiness and texture. I simmer 1 cup of grains for 15-20 minutes in 2.5 cups of water and 1 cup of unsweetened oat milk with a 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt. It’s so delicious. Love to know what you think if you try this. Stay well 🥰💝
I also make mine with water. I usually add about a table spoon and half of brown sugar and then some butter. Simply delicious!
I am going to have these for breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner.
I usually make porridge with almond milk, it is the most delicious porridge ever! The consistency is really creamy and it's almost like a soft pudding! You should definitively give it a try!
I make mine with cinnamon, chopped fresh ginger and sliced banana - it's delicious and especially good in the winter!
Watching this while eating my oatmeal made it taste even better 🥣
Doing the same lol
