Traditional porridge

1) Mix milk powder in with oats.
2) Add 200ml boiling water and stir until desired consistency (add more water if necessary).
3) Add chopped fruit and nuts and stir through.

Variations: Instead of oats, try couscous, polenta, bulga wheat or quinoa. Instead of dried cranberries, use dried apples or sultanas, or fresh fruit – apples, bananas, berries if you’ve got it! Brown sugar is also yummy.

Can make for one person, or scale up. Can be made with different grains for variety during a trip.
