Turbo Porridge

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• ½ cup oatmeal
• 1 cup boiling water from the kettle
• 1 tsp, heaped chia seeds

Instructions

Working time approx. 2 minutes; Total time approx. 2 minutes

with the kettle, without microwave

For people who are in a hurry in the morning – like me: Put the kettle on and get all the ingredients ready. For the basic recipe, put the oats (both fine and whole grain oats work) in a bowl and pour over twice the amount of boiling water. I personally like to add chia seeds and ground flaxseed to make them swell even better. To refine my porridge, I use things like cocoa, cinnamon, and honey, which I simply stir into the porridge while it’s swelling. You can vary this to your own taste. I also like to stir in a large spoonful of crunchy muesli or granola, but you can experiment with lots of things here too. I can also recommend fresh or dried fruit. By the time you’ve stirred in all the ingredients, the porridge has usually already swelled. At the end, I add a large splash of soy milk, about half a cup, until I reach the consistency I’m looking for. Depending on the type of oatmeal you use and whether you add chia seeds or something similar, the soaking time can vary slightly. I recommend just experimenting a bit. Once you’ve found the right process, it’s really quick and you’ll have a super delicious and healthy warm breakfast in just two minutes.
