Porridge Dreams

One of my favorites in the morning - warm oatmeal!! Especially in the colder seasons, I like to eat a porridge in the morning. Because of the ingredients, it is healthy, nutritious, keeps you full for a long time, soothing and simply delicious. Another and definitely important advantage is the fast preparation time - so there are no more excuses. 

Incidentally, the term porridge comes from English and means porridge. Many also speak of oatmeal (=oat flakes) or oatmeal.

Ultimately, though, they all mean the same thing – (usually) a warm dish consisting of rolled oats, liquid (water, milk, or non-dairy milk), spices (e.g., cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, etc.), and toppings (e.g., nuts, seeds, yogurt /Quark). Porridge is available in sweet and savory versions. Personally, I'm more of the cute type.
