Cottage in the Sky
Incidentally, porridge and oatmeal are not the same thing. The main difference: porridge is made with a variety of nuts, seeds, whole grains, and legumes. Oatmeal is made with oats (either ground, rolled, flattened, or steel-cut).
Porridge has more nutrients. And it’s always better to start your day with a stick-to-your-ribs breakfast. This simple recipe has been optimized for protein and serves two people (8 tbsp each).
