Porridge recipes: a warm start to the day

For simple porridge, bring about 50 g oats and 250 ml milk or plant milk to the boil, then leave it to thicken for 5 minutes. Sweetness comes from fruit like banana, apple or berries; nuts, seeds or skyr make it more filling. Here you’ll find classic and gluten-free versions, versions with extra protein, and baked oats from the oven.

Frequently asked questions

Is porridge healthy?

As a base, yes: oats contain fibre, including beta-glucan. How balanced your porridge is depends on the toppings – go for fruit, nuts and seeds rather than lots of added sweetness.
