Quick, creamy, and healthy microwave porridge: the perfect breakfast ready in about 3 minutes, rich in fiber, energy, and flavor. Easy base recipe customizable with fruit, nut butters, spices, and crunchy toppings as desired.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the oatmeal, milk or plant-based drink, and a pinch of salt. If using mashed banana, add it immediately to sweeten and make the porridge creamier.
Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on medium-high power for 90 seconds. Check during cooking as the oats may swell and overflow.
Remove the bowl and stir vigorously to break up any lumps and distribute the creaminess.
Put the bowl back in the microwave for another 30–60 seconds, or until reaching the desired consistency (add 15–20 extra seconds if you want it thicker; stop earlier if you prefer it more liquid).
Once ready, add desired toppings such as cinnamon, dark chocolate, and your favorite fruit. Serve hot.
