Creamy Oat Porridge with Honey and Nuts

1In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats (1 cup), whole milk (1½ cups), fresh cream (½ cup), and salt (¼ teaspoon).

2Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

3Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the oats, stirring occasionally, for about 12-15 minutes or until the porridge is thick and creamy.

4While the oats cook, heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter (1 teaspoon) if using.

5Add the mixed nuts (¼ cup) to the skillet and toast them for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.

6Once the porridge has reached desired creaminess, remove it from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of honey (2 tablespoons) until well combined.

7Divide the creamy oat porridge into serving bowls.

8Top each bowl with the toasted mixed nuts (¼ cup) and drizzle additional honey (2 tablespoons) over the top for extra sweetness if desired.

9Serve immediately while warm for a comforting breakfast experience.
