Slowly roast the oats in a saucepan without adding fat at medium temperature. Stir occasionally so it doesn't burn.

Add the liquid, bring to the boil briefly at medium temperature and then simmer for about 10-15 minutes at a rather low temperature. Stir every now and then. Ideally with the handle of a wooden spoon to avoid lumps.

Before serving, season the porridge with a small pinch of salt. Serve with the toppings of your choice.
