Oats / Porridge / Soaked or not soaked

Jjjjjjjjbarry · 2019-11-24 12:36:14

I have porridge every morning. I just put the oats in a bowl and add hot water, give it a mix and add maple syrup or whatever then. Is this an unhealthy way to eat it? I've googled this and get mixed results. Is there a reason why people soak the oats other than for taste? Some say soaking the removes the bad side affects…

Meusli is usually packed with porridge oats.

I used to add it to muesli to "dilute" it, as most is way too sugary.

It can be microwaved on low/defrost for a longer time and you might not need to stir as the heating is more gentle and has time for the heat to conduct throughout.
