New Oat Bran Porridge Idea!

[minnie_me]

Hi all, I've been experimenting with the Oat Bran Porridge that I would like and I found my favourite anyway!! So I thought I'd share and hopefully someone else will like it as much as I did:

Ingredients
2 tablespoons of Oat Bran (1.5 if on Attack)
150 mls of Skimmed Milk
50 mls of Diet Coke (yes, you read that right!)
4-6 drops of Strawberry Flavouring (Supermarket type, not Dukan)
Cinnamon (optional)

Method
Put the Oat Bran into a non stick saucepan and pour in the Skimmed Mile and Diet Coke. Bring to the boil and then reduce to simmer point. Leave to simmer until mixture gets gloopy like. Add in the 4-6 drops of Strawberry flavouring and stir well. Pour into a bowl and sprinkle with Cinnamon if desired.




I just don't like sweeteners and although I know diet coke has sweeteners it's just a little nicer. So I thought what the heck and I think it works really well. Give it a go and hopefully you might too!

FYI I tried it without the Strawberry flavour in case anyone didn't have any (but they should be easy to get in the Supermarket, just make sure you don't get the one with Alcohol in them) and it was still very nice.

Interesting idea! Does the porridge take on a brownish colour?!

No, I thought it might too but I think the 150 mls of skimmed milk keeps it normalised. I'd say it has a hint of a colour but actually makes it look more like real porridge.
