How to Cook the Perfect Porridge

When I started running, I was eager to make the most of my early motivation. My pre-run breakfast usually consisted of a quick bowl of sugary cereal. But as I began prioritising nutrition, I found a new appreciation for a filling bowl of porridge. It might take a little longer to prepare than a bowl of cereal, but it only takes five minutes.

Ingredients
  

  • 40 g Porridge Oats
  • 280 ml Milk

Method
 

  1. On the Hob: Add the oats and cold milk to a saucepan. Gently boil, stirring to prevent the oats from catching the bottom of the pan. Cook for 5 minutes until the oats reach the desired consistency.
  2. Microwave: Place the oats and milk in a microwave-safe bowl. In an 800-watt microwave, cook for 2 ½ minutes, stirring halfway through. Allow to stand for a minute.
