    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.

  4. 4

    Take the pan off the heat and let it stand for 2 minutes to thicken a little more.

    Spoon the porridge into two bowls.
