Prep Time5 minsCook Time1 hrTotal Time1 hr 5 mins

INGREDIENTS
 1 rice measuring cup steel cut oats* or similar large rolled oats. Shake well in a sieve (important to do this)
 *You may need to experiment with the amounts of oats and water, depending on whether you like thick or thin oat porridge!
 3 rice measuring cups water
 1 rice measuring cup half cream and half milk (or 1 rice measuring cup of milk). Can use dairy or non-dairy milk.
 3 tbsp (or less/more to your own taste) honey or brown sugar
 fresh or dried fruit such as banana, apple, cranberries, raisins or mango. Nuts and seeds such as almond/ walnuts for protein!
 (quantities provided here are for cooking in a 5-8 cup rice cooker, scale accordingly for other size rice cookers)

HOW TO MAKE
1

Place the sieved oats and water in the rice cooker inner bowl.

NOTE: Do not use milk to cook the oats, this will result in a ‘boil over’ of the contents as milk reacts
differently when heated. Only use water to cook the oats and add the milk ingredient after cooking (when the rice cooker is on KEEP WARM).

2

Place the inner bowl in the main body of the rice cooker, plug in the unit, select the ’PORRIDGE’ function and press the ’START’ button.

3

When the rice cooker turns to ’KEEP WARM’ open the lid, stir and add the remaining ingredients.

Using the timer function and soaking the oats overnight will help soften the texture.

4

Add any dried or fresh fruit to the porridge instead of sugar – delicious and healthy on a cold winter’s day!

Add spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, pumpkin spice or ginger to liven it up. Splash a dollop of milk, cream or yoghurt
if you like it creamy! If you like it sweeter try honey, maple syrup or agave syrup.
