The best thing about porridge is that you can add any nuts or fruit that you fancy: almonds, sunflower seeds, raisins, berries, pear, apple, banana: whatever you want! This makes it a very versatile breakfast dish.

To prepare porridge, turn on the hob and turn to a high heat. Next, add the 500 ml of milk or vegetable drink to a saucepan and heat. You can use skimmed cow milk or choose other products such as soy, almond or oat milk.

When it is on the point of boiling, turn the heat down to medium and add 8 tablespoons of oats, remembering that this recipes serves two. If you are preparing porridge for yourself alone, add just 250 ml of milk to 4 tablespoons of oats. Stir and then cover for 10 minutes to cook.

After this time, check the porridge. It should be smooth and have a mushy consistency. When it's ready, turn off the heat, add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavour, stir and let cool slightly whilst you chop the fruit.

If you plan to add nuts like almonds or walnuts, it is best to cut them. Now, all that remains to do is to wash and chop the fruit into small pieces that are easy to eat in one bite. Serve the porridge in a bowl, sprinkle with a little brown sugar or sweetener if you have a sweet tooth, add cinnamon if you like this spice and mix in your fruit. Bon appétit!

It really is that simply to make porridge . Enjoy eating the breakfast of a champion!
