The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. This porridge makes an excellent breakfast, a wonderful afternoon snack, or even a light dinner. Everyone knows about the exceptional benefits of oatmeal in our diet. It's a real lifesaver, recommended by many doctors and nutritionists.

To add some variety to the traditional taste of this porridge, I suggest topping it with caramelized apples. You can garnish the porridge to your liking when serving.
