The British Preparation For Oatmeal Means A More Filling Breakfast

If you want extra delicious breakfast oatmeal, you ought to update your dish by preparing it the British way: as porridge,

with two different kinds of oats.

Similar to oatmeal, porridge is made from grains heated in milk or water. British chef April Bloomfield makes hers with both rolled oats and steel cut oats for extra texture.

There are a few pros and cons to rolled oats versus steel cut, and Bloomfield's recipe brings together the best traits of both, creating a more filling breakfast.

Rolled oats are rolled flat and are sturdy enough to withstand baking, while steel cut oats are smaller, take longer to digest, and don’t affect blood sugar as much as rolled oats.
