Tips:

  • Use the right oats. For Mama Bear's Porridge, you'll need old-fashioned oats. Instant oats or steel-cut oats will not work as well.
  • Measure your ingredients carefully. This is especially important for the milk and water ratio. Too much milk will make the porridge too thin, while too little milk will make it too thick.
  • Cook the porridge over low heat. This will help to prevent it from sticking to the pot and burning.
  • Stir the porridge frequently. This will help to keep it from forming lumps.
  • Add your desired toppings before serving. Some popular toppings include butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and fruit.

Conclusion:

Mama Bear's Porridge is a delicious and comforting breakfast that is perfect for a cold morning. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect bowl of porridge every time.
