Put the oats, milk and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan and stir.
Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring often so the milk does not catch on the bottom.
Lower the heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until the oats are soft and the porridge is thick and creamy.
Take the pan off the heat and let it stand for 2 minutes to thicken a little more.
Spoon the porridge into two bowls.
Top with berries, sliced banana or a pinch of cinnamon.
