Method
    1. Prepare the Oats:
      • In a saucepan, combine the rolled oats and milk. If you’re using a vanilla pod, split it open lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, and add both the seeds and the pod to the oats and milk. If you’re using vanilla extract, add it later during cooking.
    2. Cook the Porridge:
      • Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook until the porridge thickens to your desired consistency, usually about 5-7 minutes.
    3. Add Sweetener and Vanilla Extract (if using):
      • If you prefer your porridge sweetened, stir in honey or maple syrup according to your taste. If you used a vanilla pod, remove it from the porridge. If you didn’t use a pod, add the vanilla extract at this stage. Mix well to incorporate the flavors.
    4. Serve:
      • Pour the creamy vanilla porridge into bowls.
    5. Add Toppings:
      • Top the porridge with fresh berries, sliced bananas, and chopped nuts. Drizzle with additional honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness, if desired. For a finishing touch, sprinkle a bit of cinnamon or cocoa powder on top, if you like.
    6. Enjoy:
      • Serve the Creamy Vanilla Porridge hot and enjoy a comforting and flavorful breakfast.
    Pro Tips
    • Texture Preference: If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add a bit more milk during or after cooking until you reach your desired consistency.
    • Customize Toppings: Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite fruits, nuts, or seeds.
