Quick Porridge How Ya Like It Recipes

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the oats, water, salt, sugar, bananas and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer until the liquid has been absorbed, stirring frequently. Pour into bowls, and top each with a splash of cold milk.

Steps:

• Put the porridge in a large mixing bowl with 300ml lukewarm water. Stir in the flour, sugar, salt and yeast until fully combined. Cover with a damp tea towel and leave to prove for 1 hr, or until it has almost doubled in size.
• Tip the dough onto a well floured surface and knock the dough back, punching and kneading it - don't worry if it's very soft. Shape the loaf and put it in a non-stick 900g loaf tin. Cover with the damp tea towel and let it prove for another 45 mins. It should expand to fill the tin. Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 6.
• Make a slash along the length of the dough and sprinkle on the oats. Bake for 10 mins, then turn the heat down to 190C/170C fan/gas 3 and cook for another 30 mins. Carefully turn the loaf out and tap the bottom. If it sounds hollow, then the bread is ready. If not, put it back in the oven for another 5 mins. If any oats fell off when you turned it over, scatter them back over the loaf.
• Turn the loaf out onto a wire rack and leave to cool.

Steps:

• Put 50g porridge oats in a saucepan, pour in 350ml milk or water and sprinkle in a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil and simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring from time to time and watching carefully that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Or you can try this in a microwave. Mix the porridge oats, milk or water and a pinch of salt in a large microwaveproof bowl, then microwave on High for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through. Leave to stand for 2 minutes before eating.
• To serve, pour into bowls, spoon Greek yogurt, thinned with a little milk, on top and drizzle with honey.
