The Great Soprendo

Yeah basically 1 part oats to 2 parts milk (adjust slightly depending on the consistency you like). For overnight stuff there are lots of different recipes but all I do is the same porridge and milk mix in my bowl and maybe some dried fruit in with it to plump up, but you can add that in the morning also. Then a bit clingfilm or a saucer over the top (or do it in a tupperware box with a lid).guess it's laziness or portion control on my part or the missus. Tend to have it more often in a spell of poor weather and dont like having part opened boxes lying about. Maybe give a box a go at the beginning of next winter. They do have the ratios for oats and milk on the box above 1 oats to 2 milk?
Do see plenty of those overnight oats recipes about so I presume you just used the porridge for those? I guess a box emptied into a sealed container might be the way forward next year as stocked up with Sachets on offer
As for storing the dry porridge, some of the cardboard boxes have pretty good reseals, or if it's a bag I find bulldog clips do the job perfectly.
