What is Porridge?

Porridge is traditionally made from rolled oats and water and is served for breakfast. Porridge also tastes delicious with (plant-based) milk. It’s a healthy and super easy breakfast recipe that you can tweak and adapt however you like.

Is the warm oatmeal healthy?

The main component of porridge is rolled oats and they are very healthy! This type of grain is rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

Compared to other cereals, oats have the highest vitamin B1 and B6 content and provide a lot of vegetable protein. Due to the fiber content, oatmeal keeps you full for a long time. This makes them perfect for a nutritious start to the day.

Porridge Basic Recipe

Traditionally, porridge is made from oat flakes and liquid such as water, milk or plant-based drink.

Ingredients basic recipe for one portion:

50 g rolled oats (tender)
150 ml water, milk or plant drink
1 pinch salt (optional)

Preparation

The ingredients are all boiled up in a small saucepan and then simmered over low heat until the porridge has thickened. Depending on whether you like your porridge more liquid or thicker, you can adjust the liquid accordingly.

Personally, I’m not a huge fan of the classic, traditional porridge. That’s why I’ll present my personal favorite porridge recipe to you in the next section.

My favorite porridge recipe with banana

Ingredients basic recipe for one portion:

40 g oat flakes (3 heaped tbsp)
1 banana
1 tbsp chia seeds and/or flaxseeds
450 ml milk (oat milk)

Preparation

Blend all the ingredients for the oats in a blender. Now place the oat mixture in a small saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally so it doesn’t burn.

Refine oats deliciously

To give your porridge more flavor and change it up a bit, you can season it to taste or add fruit.

Here are a few suggestions to refine your porridge:

Fruit: Grate some apple into your porridge or add some fresh or frozen berries for a fruity twist.
Spices: Add your favorite spice to add more flavor to your oatmeal. Cinnamon, vanilla, ginger or chai spice, for example, are great.
Cocoa: To make a chocolate porridge, you can simply add some cocoa powder to your breakfast porridge.

Below I give you more ideas for great toppings and seasonal porridge recipes.

Frequently asked questions about porridge

Porridge with milk or water - which is better?

The classic breakfast treat is made from rolled oats and water. This makes it vegan and low in calories. However, I personally prefer to use plant-based milk. This makes the porridge a little creamier and richer. If you want to prepare your breakfast porridge with milk, you can use oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk or soy milk, for example.

What can you eat porridge with?

To make your porridge recipe a little more exciting and delicious, a great topping should not be missing. Fresh fruit, muesli and some yoghurt are probably the best-known toppings. I would be happy to give you more ideas that go great with your porridge:

Fresh fruit (banana, apple, berries)
Dried fruit (dates, plums, etc.)
Vanilla beans or extract
Cinammon
Yogurt
Jam
Nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter, etc.)
Nutella
Roasted Nuts
Cherry groats
Granola
Caramelized fruit (pears, apples, bananas)

How much porridge for one person?

Well, everyone likes their porridge a little differently. Finding the perfect amount is probably impossible. It’s best to just try it out and see which amount of oats and liquid suits your needs.

However, you can use the following amounts as a good guide:

1 serving of porridge = 50g rolled oats + 150ml liquid

Are Oats Healthy?

Yes! Porridge is very healthy and offers many benefits. Oatmeal has a lot of fiber and keeps you full for a long time. They are also gluten-free and rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Oats are also a great source of plant-based protein. Porridge is also quick and easy to prepare.

Of course it always depends on what you add to your porridge. To enjoy it as a healthy breakfast recipe, I recommend not adding any refined sugar. If you want to sweeten your oatmeal, you can use natural sweeteners from dates and other fruits.

Tips for homemade oatmeal

Rule of thumb for the breakfast recipe

1 serving of porridge = 50 g or 5 tablespoons of rolled oats + 150 ml of liquid

Porridge without cooking

You can also prepare your porridge without cooking. For the so-called overnight oats, you mix your porridge ingredients and put them in the fridge overnight. The oatmeal swells overnight and becomes nice and creamy.

Below I give you more alternatives and ideas for quick overnight oats.
