Serves 1

Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup rolled oats
• 4/3 cups water
• a little salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cinamon

To serve

• 1-2 Tbs brown sugar
• a big splash oat milk

Other extras:

• 1/2 bananas, sliced
• sultanas
• fresh / frozen blueberries
• nuts
• seeds
• other dried fruits
• yoghurt
• fruit compote

Method:

Slow simmer for as long as possible, mixing as much as possible.

1. Add the first set of ingredients to a small pan
2. Bring to a gentle boil and then immediately down to a gentle simmer, stiring almost constantly (such as with a spurtle) for at least 5 minutes.
3. The slower you heat it and mix it, the smoother and creamer the texture.
4. Transfer to a large enough bowl, sprinkle liberally with the brown sugar and let that melt a bit, and then add a splash of cold oat milk immediately before eating.

Notes:

• You can also prepare this slowly in advance in a rice cooker set to ‘warm’. Mixing frequently with a small wooden spoon, spatula, or spurtle.
