# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The maple syrup sweetness hits different when it melts into warm oats creating this caramel-like depth that brown sugar just cant match
  • It comes together in fifteen minutes flat but tastes like something you'd wait hours for at a brunch spot
02 -
  • Stirring too frequently breaks down the oats and makes them gluey, so resist the urge and let them do their thing
  • The porridge keeps thickening as it sits, so if you like it looser add a splash more milk before serving
03 -
  • Toast your nuts and seeds in a dry pan for two minutes before adding—the aroma alone is worth the extra step
  • Let the porridge sit for one minute off the heat before serving to reach that perfect consistency
