Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (180g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 4 cups (960ml) water
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) sea salt
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsp (60ml) raw honey
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh mixed spring berries
  • 2 tbsp (15g) toasted sunflower seeds
  • 1 pinch (0.5g) ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Combine the 180g rolled oats, 960ml water, and 3g salt in your heavy saucepan. Note: Using a wide pot helps the water evaporate evenly.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium high heat. Wait until the liquid reaches a gentle bubble, then immediately turn the heat down to low.
  3. Stir the mixture every 2-3 minutes. Continue this for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the oats look velvety and thick.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat completely.
  5. Stir in the 5ml vanilla extract. Note: Adding this now keeps the flavor punchy.
  6. Spoon the porridge into four bowls.
  7. Drizzle the 60ml honey in a spiral pattern over the top.
  8. Scatter the 150g fresh berries across the surface.
  9. Sprinkle the 0.5g cinnamon and 15g toasted sunflower seeds over the berries.
