Aaji's Tip

To cook oats you should use a to medium flame. You have to stir the oats from time, to time so they do not stick to the pan. After the oats are cooked you can add some fruit. Do not add the fruit while the oats are boiling. This way the fruit will stay fresh. It will be really tasty. You want the fruit to be fresh when you eat the oats.

Notes
For a diet- version use water or low-fat milk. Avoid adding honey. You can add an amount of nuts or seeds. If your porridge gets too thick just add a warm milk or water and mix well.
