Put the oats in a cup. One serving for me would be 3/4 of a cup. The white bits are salt. Some people like to put sugar in porridge, but I prefer to do it the Scottish way with salt.

Stir the salt into the oats, put them in a pan and add a few slices of banana.

Add a cup and a half of water.

Add half a cup of milk.

Put it on the stove over a medium heat.

Keep stirring and watch while it starts to thicken.

See how it's getting thicker and thicker? Bring it to the boil and let it simmer for about half a minute.

And there it is. A nice bowl of hot porridge with bananas to set you up for the morning.
