Oat milk, unsweetened. Delicious and good for any cooking. If the recipe says milk you can use oat milk. And no cows or their calves were harmed in making it.
As a child I had it made with milk. I make it many ways - I'm not a porridge purist.
And yes, I'm happy with your "wallpaper paste". š
I've made it with oat milk, soya, rice, almond etc (not hazelnut milk nor coconut). Oat milk and comes out like making it with water having pre-soaked the oats.
I also like porridge with nuts and dried fruits cooked in it (not banana or chocolate) - and it's nice savory too - with a good dollop of miso!
Coconut milk either Aldi or Sainsbury's own. Makes the best porridge in the microwave. Tastes good in tea as it doesn't taste of coconut and isn't sweet.
I ran out of milk an unheard of event so made my porridge using my usual 50g dry oats and 22g of low cal instant hot chocolate powder and water cooked in the microwave it was lovely . Made it other times if I fancy low cal chocolate pud. Tastes good cold.
Cymres1 If you look at the labels they donāt say āmilkā they say āoat drinkā or whatever - itās just that everyone knows they are milk-like and calls them milk. I like Oatly Barista ( cheapest in Lidl) for coffee which I whisk up with a milk frother. I like unsweetened almond from Aldi to make porridge. Aldiās organic oatmeal is the best too.
I am probably going to irritate some people but I just can't bring myself to call these fluids MILK. Milk comes from MAMMALS for the most part, probably other creatures as well. Why not call it what it is. I am fortunate not to be food intolerant but I am labelling intolerant. And don't get me started on air fresheners..... but that's another story !
Mammals are the only creatures that lactate. Itās one of the defining characteristics of the group. You say ācall it what it isā - what is it then? āPlant based milk alternativeā, I supposeā¦
Thanks all. Iām going to start with Oatly and avoid almond milk
The massive Californian almond industry is hideously damaging for bees, catastrophic in terms of water, and like most aspects of American agriculture, I will not support it.
Iāve no problem with dairy products but I also buy the organic Oatly cartons (or occasionally soak and squeeze organic oats).
Oatly barista. Itās the one that finally allowed me to go fully vegan. As someone has already mentioned oat milk is ethically sound as well. Iām afraid the yogurt alternatives are disappointing but they do have live cultures so you neednāt miss out on those.
I like the 'creamy' Oatly Barista in coffee, soya milk in tea - and coconut milk to drink. I'm vegan and lactose intolerant anyway. My family like them too - having been put off dairy by the thought of 'allowable pus content'.
We use Koko coconut milk and Rude Health Almond Milk. I haven't found an oat milk/hemp/rice milk I like. We usually milk the two as I find the taste of the almond milk a bit strong.

Probably because itās just easier to call it milk because it resembles milk. White liquid would take up a lot of room written down on a shopping list and itās quite a mouthful to say.
