I simply pour the oats into a container (which has a lid and hangs out in the fridge overnight. I make a large batch for the week, you can simply put glad wrap straight over your cereal bowl for one serve)
added some water
juices from a lemon and oranges
rind of some lemon & orange
sprinkled cinnamon
couple of drops of vanilla essence
a few sultanas
And in the morning........no cooking was required!!
All I had to do was cut up whatever fruit was at hand, so a banana, some blueberries with slivered almonds (cos they look pretty and are sooooo good for you too) and that was it!!!! Oh yes, that frothy milky white stuff, was Adrian's left over milk from his latte this morning.....just mixing it up a little.
This was so beautiful and tasty as all these wonderful flavours had a party together while I was sleeping last night and I got to enjoy every move they made in my mouth this morning. I LOVE IT!!!!
I hope this gives you some inspiration to be creative with your porridge in the mornings especially when you don't have time to cook it over a stove top! Only under extreme emergencies do I use the microwave as I really don't want to degrade this fine grain.
What are some of your favourite porridge creations???
