Brekker on the go: perfect porridge

Do you know the secret to a perfectly creamy porridge? The answer lies in the stirring. That muscle power you use while cooking the porridge over a low heat is the key to creating a super creamy texture. If you have a little time at hand, you could use regular porridge oats, otherwise you can use the abundantly available quick cooking oats that will be ready in a jiffy.

Sprinkle with a bit of soft brown sugar or drizzle with a little honey for natural sweetness. If you want to make this breakfast even more appetising, serve with fresh seasonal fruits, nuts and dried fruits. View the recipe on BBC Good Food .
