Ingredients
- 1 cup whole oat groats*, soaked overnight
- 2 cups water
- large pinch sea salt
Step-by-Step Instructions
- For Whole Oat Porridge: Drain and rinse one cup of oat groats first to rinse away any dust and loose hulls if present.
- Pour the groats into a medium pot and dd 2 cups water and a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn it right down - whisking every now and then for 2 mins.
- Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10 - 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the grains are soft and the porridge is creamy.
- Serve hot, with desired toppings. Drizzle with a little honey and 1/2 tsp lemon or lime juice just before serving.
- *IMPORTANT NOTE: Whole oat groats cannot be directly substituted with rolled oats or steel-cut oats in this recipe because the cooking times and liquid ratios are completely different. If using another type of oat, follow the cooking instructions provided on the package.
