Description
Jamie Oliver’s Porridge is a classic breakfast dish made with rolled oats cooked in milk or water, topped with fruits, nuts, or sweeteners for a wholesome and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
-
- 1 cup rolled oats
-
- 2 cups milk, water, or a mix of both
-
- A pinch of salt
Optional Toppings:
-
- Fresh fruits (berries, banana slices, or apple chunks)
-
- Nuts and seeds (almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, or sunflower seeds)
-
- Sweeteners (honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar)
-

Instructions
Step 1: Combine the Ingredients
-
- Place the rolled oats, milk or water, and a pinch of salt in a medium-sized saucepan.
Step 2: Cook the Porridge
-
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the oats have softened and the porridge reaches your desired consistency.
Step 3: Adjust Consistency
-
- If the porridge is too thick, add a splash of milk or water to loosen it. If it’s too thin, simmer for another minute.
Step 4: Serve and Add Toppings
-
- Transfer the porridge to a bowl and add your favorite toppings. Jamie Oliver often recommends fresh fruits, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of seeds or nuts for a balanced and delicious finish.
