Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Rolled oats You could substitute quick oats for a faster version.
  • 2 cups Milk or plant-based milk Choose almond milk, oat milk, or any preferred variety for creaminess.
  • 1 cup Mixed berries Use blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries; fresh or frozen depending on season.
  • 1 tbsp Honey or maple syrup For a sweet finish, adjust according to taste.
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon Enhances flavor wonderfully.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract Add for a fragrant touch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather 1 cup of rolled oats, 2 cups of your chosen milk, and a handful of mixed berries.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the oats and milk over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in a teaspoon of cinnamon and a splash of vanilla extract.
  4. Allow the oats to cook for about 5-10 minutes, or until they reach your desired thickness. Add a pinch of salt.
  5. Gently fold in the berries, allowing them to warm but not break apart fully.
  6. Transfer your porridge into bowls, and finish with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

Notes

For extra creaminess, stir in a spoonful of yogurt or almond butter before serving. Experiment with flavored milks for a unique twist. Add toppings like granola or toasted coconut for crunch.
