How about porridge?

Microwaved?

Ah well therein lies a tale. This morning I had 3 attempts at making it according to the instructions on the box, each attempt resembling wallpaper paste or worse. I tried varying the milk volume but to no avail. The kitchen looked like a battlefield after dishes everywhere!!

The quick porridge was very straightforward. 3 heaped tablespoons of porridge, 200mls milk & 3mins full power microwave......perfect every time :j

I use porridge oats, and have them made up with the milk/water and then cook them in the micro for two mins in the morning, sometimes having to add a wee bit more milk, then add whatever flavouring that I fancy and they are just the as good as the <oats so simple etc> ranges, and at least half the price!

if you're making something like muffins use the oats as a substitute for a portion of the flour. i have a recipe that requires 2.5 cups of flour so i use 1 cup of oats and 1.5 cups of flour and it always makes the muffins really moist (and healthier!)

Put your dry porridge oats into a food processor or blender, whizz for a few seconds and you've got Ready Brek quick porridge!

I do it with bags of value porridge oats.

Just change the amount of water or milk you add, or fewer oats.

Quick porridge is a way of making you pay much more for something which is less packaged and more healthy.

I soak half a cup of rolled oats in a cup of water overnight. In the morning I add half a cup of milk (and salt) and zap it in the microwave - yummy, smooth porridge every time
