The story

Porridge is where plant milk quietly shines: oat milk doubles down on creaminess, soy adds body. Five minutes of stirring is the whole secret.

Proper Porridge for One Made with plants

Method

  1. Combine

    Oats, plant milk and salt into a small pan over medium heat.

  2. Stir like you mean it

    Simmer gently for 6–8 minutes, stirring often. The starch releases slowly — that's what makes it creamy.

  3. Loosen

    Just before serving, stir in an extra splash of cold plant milk — the chef's trick for perfect texture.

  4. Top

    Bowl it, crown with fruit, drizzle with maple. Eat while it steams.

Little tips ♡

  • A pinch of salt makes oats taste more oaty.
  • Leftover porridge fries into brilliant oat cakes.
  • Microwave version: 2½ minutes, stir halfway.
