1. Oat Mixture Prep
In a medium saucepan, combine porridge oats, ½ tsp ground cinnamon, demerara sugar, skimmed milk, and half of the sliced bananas. Place the saucepan over medium heat.
2. Cook Oatmeal
Bring the oat mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring continuously, until the oats are fully cooked and creamy.
3. Serve
Evenly distribute the cooked oatmeal into four serving bowls. Garnish each bowl with the remaining banana slices, fresh halved strawberries, and a generous dollop of fat-free natural yogurt. Finish with a light dusting of ground cinnamon for extra flavor.
For a nuttier flavor, toast the oats in the saucepan for a few minutes before adding the milk. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
Add crunch with toasted nuts or seeds, like pumpkin seeds or slivered almonds. This will also boost the nutritional value with healthy fats and proteins.
Gently warm the milk with a cinnamon stick or a vanilla pod before adding the oats. This will create a deeper flavor profile.
If using frozen berries, consider thawing them first or gently heating them in a separate pot to release their juices, which can be swirled into the oatmeal for added flavor.
Use whole milk for a creamier texture, but if you're using a plant-based alternative, consider coconut milk for its richness or almond milk for a lighter option.
