Instant Porridge
22 Answers
I'm not a lover of porridge, but I recently bought a pack of those porridge sachets that now seem to be everywhere. I think they were called oats so simple by Quaker but mine is a plain type made by mornflake.
I noticed that the only Ingredient is 27g of wholegrain oatflakes to which is added about 180ml of milk using the sachet as a measure and then microwaved.
My question is can I do the same thing using supermarket own-brand oats that are sold in big plastic bags. It would be so much cheaper for me to use these bulk pack porridge oats although I'm not certain if I need rolled oats.
Thank you.

I put three dessert spoons full into a microwavable bowl, add whole milk & artificial sweetener (I'm diabetic) tiny pinch of salt (brings out the flavour) and then microwave for about three minutes, stirring after every minute. You will find next time you want less milk or more, if I find it too thick, I just stir in cold milk, add any fruit toppings etc....and you have yummy, filling bowl of porridge. I also know someone who puts Greek yogurt into a bown, sprinkles dry oats onto it, leaves it in the fridge overnight and in the morning adds fruit and eats it cold. Oaks absorb the yogurt. Instant packet ones are not very good for you but convenient (the less processed, the better)

I eat porridge a lot (Quaker) always adding fruit (Blueberries, Banana etc, and a touch of Maple Syrup !) before eating. I took two of the "pots" of porridge on a recent self catering holiday, tried the first one, couldn't eat it (horrible !) and threw the second one away without opening it !!
