SLOW-COOKED PORRIDGE

Slow-cooked porridge image

Put this oaty breakfast into your slow cooker before bed and wake up to a bowl of creamy comfort in the morning. Add your favourite toppings

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories Breakfast

Time 12h5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1 cup jumbo oats
4 cups milk (or half milk, half water for a less creamy version), plus a dribble more milk to serve
¼ cup dried fruits (optional)
your favourite toppings - brown sugar or honey, sliced bananas, grated apple, blueberries, pinch of cinnamon, natural yogurt, etc

Steps:

Heat the slow cooker if necessary. Find a sturdy ceramic bowl that will fit in the cooker. Put the oats in the bowl along with a pinch of salt, then pour over the milk, or a mixture of milk and water. Add the dried fruit, if using. Place the bowl in the slow cooker and put on its lowest setting and cook overnight for 7-8 hours. If anyone's up in the night, give the porridge a quick stir to scrape up the crustier bits from around the edges and bottom, but don't worry if not.
In the morning, give the porridge a really good stir - it may have developed a crust on top, but just stir this in to break it up. Add a drop more milk to loosen if necessary, then ladle into bowls and add your favourite toppings.

Tips:

Use old fashioned oats: They have a chewier texture and hold their shape better than quick cooking oats.
Measure your oats and liquid accurately: This will ensure the porridge has the right consistency.
Don't stir the porridge too much: Stirring can make the porridge gummy.
Let the porridge cook on low for at least 6 hours: This will allow the oats to fully absorb the liquid and develop a creamy texture.
Add your favorite toppings: Once the porridge is cooked, you can add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or honey.

Conclusion:

Making oatmeal porridge in a crock pot is a great way to enjoy a warm and hearty breakfast with minimal effort. By following the tips above, you can make a delicious and nutritious porridge that the whole family will love.
