Simple & Satisfying Morning Meal: Nutritious Oatmeal Porridge Recipe
How to Make Healthy Oatmeal Porridge to Start Your Day
For busy mornings when skipping meals is easy, especially with the current need to boost immunity, I’ve prepared a hearty oatmeal porridge that makes a perfectly satisfying meal. Let’s make this nutritious and delicious oatmeal porridge quickly and easily.
Key Ingredients- Oatmeal 2/3 cup
- Milk 1/2 cup
- Fine salt 1/6 Tbsp
- Banana 1/2
- Blueberries
- Cherry tomatoes 1-2
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s make a simple oatmeal porridge, perfect as a quick breakfast. Prepare your ingredients: about half a banana (frozen and leftover is fine), milk, oatmeal, and salt.
Step 2
Soak about 4 tablespoons of oatmeal in 1/2 cup of milk beforehand. Oatmeal, made from flattened oats, is already soft, but soaking it in milk beforehand will result in an even smoother porridge when cooked.
Step 3
Mash the thawed banana into small pieces and add it to the oatmeal soaked in milk. Cook the porridge over low heat. Once you see foam forming around the edges of the milk, add the banana and stir well. This will help distribute the banana’s flavor throughout the porridge.
Step 4
You can substitute soy milk for regular milk for a healthier option. Keep stirring the oatmeal porridge continuously to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Gentle, consistent stirring will help achieve a creamy, smooth texture, similar to how rice grains break down in porridge.
Step 5
Season with salt at the very end, just before serving. It’s best to add it right before you eat to maintain the natural flavors of the ingredients. Add a small pinch and taste; you can always add more if needed.
Step 6
Prepare toppings for a colorful and fresh finish. Slice the cherry tomatoes, which are great for adding color and are in season. Gather some blueberries from the fridge. These additions will make your oatmeal porridge not only look appealing but also taste even more delightful.
