Creamy A2 Milk Porridge
A comforting and nutritious breakfast, this creamy A2 milk porridge is made with rolled oats cooked to perfection, offering a rich and satisfying start to your day.
For 1 serving
Measure rolled oats, A2 milk, and salt into a small saucepan. If using ground cinnamon or vanilla extract, add them to the saucepan now.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reached your desired creamy consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the porridge stand for 1-2 minutes to thicken further and allow the flavors to meld.
Pour the hot porridge into a serving bowl.
Top with your desired toppings such as fresh or frozen berries, chopped nuts, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, creamy A2 milk porridge.
What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Prevent Sticking: Stir frequently, especially as the porridge thickens, to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
- 2Adjust Consistency: For a thicker porridge, cook a minute or two longer. For a thinner consistency, add a splash more warm A2 milk at the end.
- 3Overnight Oats Option: For a no-cook version, combine oats and milk in a jar, refrigerate overnight, then warm gently or eat cold with toppings.
- 4Flavor Boost: Toast your rolled oats in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes before adding liquid for a nuttier, deeper flavor.
