Preparation

1. 1

   Step 1 of 5: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the oats, milk or plant-based drink, and a pinch of salt. If using mashed banana, add it right away to sweeten and make the porridge creamier.

2. 2

   Step 2 of 5: Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on medium-high power for 90 seconds. Check during cooking because the oats may rise and overflow.

3. 3

   Step 3 of 5: Remove the bowl and stir vigorously to break up any lumps and distribute the creaminess.

4. 4

   Step 4 of 5: Put the bowl back in the microwave for another 30-60 seconds, or until the desired consistency is reached (15-20 extra seconds if you want it thicker; stop sooner if you prefer it more liquid).

5. 5

   Step 5 of 5: Once ready, add your desired toppings such as cinnamon, dark chocolate, and your favorite fruit. Serve hot.
