Instructions
- Add the oats and the milk to a saucepan and give them stir. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until it looks like it’s thickening.
- Then give the porridge a good stir with a handwhisk and stirring vigorously, slowly add in about half the egg. I find it easier to beat the eggs in the jug I measured the milk in, and add them to the pan from that. Once the first half of the egg is fully combined, add the rest. Continue to stir vigorously for around 30 seconds and then leave to cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until you’ve got a lovely thick consistency. You can stir through any add in’s now and serve.
Notes
Use the scaler top right of ingredients for 2 or 3 servings. For a family of four like mine it’s 120g oats | 4 large eggs | 1tlr milk.
Baby & Toddler
As with young children, also allow half the quantities for infants. Do not add in any salt or salty butter.
