Porridge has become a favorite breakfast, but the porridge needs to be nice and creamy.
If you don't have time to simmer in the morning, this knowledge will help you.
What our grandparents used to call porridge or gruel and ate it more for pragmatic reasons is more popular than ever today:
porridge
.
Sounds a lot tastier, doesn't it?
The oatmeal breakfast is prepared with milk or a milk substitute and spiced up with many ingredients such as nuts, fresh fruit and more.
So you can enjoy a different porridge every morning.
But the most important thing with every porridge variant: creaminess.
Porridge becomes particularly creamy
by gently simmering on a low flame
, but what if you don't have that much time?
Then you don't have to do without enjoyment, because you have an ace up your sleeve!

Creamy porridge: This is how it works without long cooking
You've probably noticed when you
're preparing quick porridge in the microwave
- it just never gets as creamy as the porridge from the pot.
The slow simmer is missing, the oatmeal just doesn't get that soft, even if you use flower tender oatmeal.
That's why you should try this tip: simply replace some of the rolled oats in your favorite recipe with
melted
flakes .
These disintegrate much faster and give your porridge
a thick, creamy consistency in record time – even when you boil it for the first time and in less than five minutes
.
What are melt flakes?
You may know melted flakes
from baby food, but they have many more uses.
The flakes are made from oat flour, for which the oat flakes are ground.
Melted flakes therefore contain the same valuable ingredients as conventional oat flakes - which, by the way, are always whole grain.
Conjure up the creamiest porridge with melting flakes
With melting flakes you can quickly achieve the perfect porridge.
Try using half the flakes in your recipe first, then adjust to taste - more or less.
Otherwise you do not have to change anything in your recipe.
All ingredients such as milk or milk alternative and other additives such as psyllium, fruit or nuts remain untouched and the taste remains the same - which makes this tip so easy to implement.
Try it.
