By soaking oats overnight, this recipe not only cuts down on morning prep time but also enhances the porridge's texture and flavor. Topped with sweet strawberry jam and creamy butter, it's perfect for starting your day with a warm and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

🌾 2 dl oat flakes (Brand not specified, use your favorite)
💧 0.5 liters water (Philips measuring cup for precision)
🍓 Strawberry jam (Quantity not specified, visually two dollops, any preferred brand)
🧈 Butter (Quantity not specified, a small pat, any preferred brand)

Instructions

1- Prepare the Oat Base:

• Measure 2 dl of oat flakes using a Philips measuring cup and place them into a saucepan.
• Add 0.5 liters of water to the saucepan with the oat flakes, measured again with the Philips cup for accuracy.

2- Soak the Oats:

• Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the oat flakes soak in the water overnight in a warm place. This technique will soften the oats and reduce cooking time in the morning.

3- Cook the Oatmeal:

• In the morning, uncover the saucepan and gently stir the soaked oats with a wooden spatula.
• Place the saucepan on a white electric stovetop. Set the heat to medium and stir the mixture continuously or frequently until it begins to boil.
• Once boiling bubbles appear, cover the saucepan with the lid again and remove it from the heat.

4- Simmer and Serve:

• Allow the porridge to rest and thicken for a few minutes under the closed lid, letting it simmer with the residual heat.
• Serve the oatmeal in a white bowl with a Greek key pattern, using a stainless steel spoon. Add two dollops of strawberry jam and a small pat of butter on top for added flavor and presentation.
