Papaya Coconut Porridge - Collaboration with Amazin' Graze

Jump To Recipe

Every time when I have porridge, I would recall my childhood memories. Growing up, we didn't have much, and my grandma would cook some simple hearty breadcrumb porridge. Life was simple back then, but we were happy with what we had. Perhaps, one of these days, I will post some breadcrumb porridge recipes.

Amazin' Graze's Rolled Oats and Antioxidant Berry Trail Mix...

You can flavor the base water however you like. I just had those spices on hand, so I used them to stack flavors. The ratio is always 80g oats to 360g water. By the time the water has almost evaporated, the oats will be soft and porridgy. Simple math and science I guess.

You can create your own porridge theme; chocolate, banana, berries, or cheesy, savory. On a side not, do not cook the oats with any milk tho, as milk will tend to scald before the oats are cooked. The possibilities are pretty much endless! This is just a base of so much more varieties. Explore, experiment and most importantly, have fun! Anyway, I hope you will give this recipe a try.
