Creamy Vanilla Porridge
A warm bowl of creamy oatmeal provides a comforting start to any morning. This simple stovetop method combines rolled oats with milk, a splash of vanilla, and a hint of cinnamon for a naturally sweet base. Cooking the oats slowly allows them to absorb the liquid fully, creating a rich and tender texture. It makes an excellent everyday breakfast that you can easily customize. Top your bowl with fresh fruit, toasted nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup to suit your taste.
Ingredients
- 1 litre dairy or non-dairy milk
- 500ml water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of ground cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 200g porridge oats
Instructions
- 1Combine the milk, water, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt in a large saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the liquid to a slow boil.
- 2Stir the porridge oats into the boiling liquid. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the mixture thickens.
- 3Remove the saucepan from the heat and ladle the hot oatmeal into individual serving bowls.
Notes
- Customize your bowl by adding fresh fruit, toasted nuts, or a drizzle of honey before serving.
