"Porridge oats" are simply rolled or flattened whole oat grains, which are commonly cooked with water or milk to make a hot, creamy breakfast cereal also called porridge. The term "porridge oats" refers to the specific type of oat flake used for this dish, and they are a versatile ingredient used in other baked goods as well.
What it is
Rolled oats: Porridge oats are typically "rolled oats," which are whole grains that have been steamed and then flattened into flakes. This process makes them quick-cooking and smooth when boiled.
Versatile grain: While ideal for porridge, these oats are also used in recipes for muesli, biscuits, cakes, and cereal bars.
How it's made
The base: The basic recipe involves simmering porridge oats with milk or water until they thicken and become creamy.
Cooking time: Depending on the type of oat, it can take as little as 5 minutes with quick-cooking oats or 10 minutes with rolled oats.
Customization: You can add various toppings to sweeten or enhance the dish, such as fruit, honey, nuts, or sugar.
