Milk Mush
A creamy, comforting porridge made from oats and milk, perfect for breakfast or a warm snack, reminiscent of childhood memories around the kitchen table.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats Use gluten-free oats if needed.
- 4 cups milk Whole or 2% works best; dairy-free options also available.
- 1-2 tbsp honey or maple syrup For sweetness; use local honey for a floral note.
- 1/2 tsp salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavors.
Optional toppings
- fresh fruits (like berries or bananas)
- nuts (almonds or walnuts)
- cinnamon
- chocolate chips Optional for indulgence.
Instructions
Combine Ingredients
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and salt. Pour in the milk, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture over medium heat.
Heat and Stir
- Once it starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and keep stirring as it cooks. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
Sweeten and Serve
- Once the Milk Mush has reached the desired thickness, remove it from heat and stir in the honey or maple syrup.
Plating Up
- Scoop into bowls and get creative with your toppings. Fresh berries, a sprinkle of nuts, or a dusting of cinnamon can enhance your dish.
Notes
For extra creaminess, consider adding a splash of cream or coconut milk at the end. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat with a splash of milk.
