Nutella Porridge
I actually can't imagine myself having any other breakfast than porridge. However, I got bored of Sweet Rice Porridge, Biscoff Porridge and Peanut Butter Porridge, and I decided to try something new. Since I tried this Nutella porridge, it is absolutely my favourite.
The comforting creaminess of Nutella paired with the nutty aroma and flavour of toasted hazelnuts slushing around in oats and milk is bound to make any breakfast session a treat.
Why Does This Recipe Work?
- The recipe requires only four ingredients!
- The ingredients can be found at any grocery store near you.
- This recipe is very quick and simple to make.
- The presence of Nutella makes this a breakfast that will be loved by everyone, from kids to adults and perfect as a weekend breakfast.
- Despite being easy to make, porridge proves to be a very filling breakfast.
What Is In This Nutella Porridge Recipe?
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Rolled Oats. I use rolled oats to have a thicker texture, like in my recipe Peach Overnight Oats.
Milk. It will be used to boil the oats and to give a creamy consistency to the Porridge. Any kind of milk works for the recipe. However, I like to use full-fat milk.
Nutella. It is the ingredient that adds magic to the recipe. You can substitute it with any other brand’s hazelnut spread for the creamy sweetness if you prefer.
Hazelnuts. Chopped Hazelnuts will act as the topping for the recipe.
How To Make Nutella Porridge?
In a saucepan, put oats and milk, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until creamy.
Tip: Don’t let the porridge overboil; keep stirring it periodically.
Turn off the heat and stir in the Nutella.
Transfer to a bowl, top with hazelnuts, and add extra Nutella and some milk if you wish.
Top Tips!
- I use raw hazelnuts for topping. However, you can use it roasted or any other nuts such as almonds or walnuts.
- Varying the amount of milk will vary the consistency. Play around with it to make the porridge suited to your taste.
- Avoid using quick oats. They absorb the liquid differently.
Some Variations
- You can use plant-based milk or almond milk if you prefer.
- Stirring in a spoonful of Chia seeds adds to the goodness of the recipe.
- Add in some peanut butter along with Nutella to enjoy the heavenly peanut butter-Nutella porridge.
- Instead of Nutella, you can use cocoa powder to make this Porridge. This will alter the taste to a certain extent.
- Instead of milk, you can boil the oats in water and add a few tablespoons of butter for the creaminess.
- Instead of rolled oats, you can also use rice flakes, rolled barley, rolled spelt, or quinoa flakes.
Serving Suggestions
- I like to serve my porridge as soon as it is ready.
- Freshly squeezed fruit juices make for great breakfast accompaniments to the dish.
- Other great options that this recipe also pairs well with are smoothies or milkshakes.
- You can top the Porridge with dark or milk chocolate for added chocolatey goodness.
Storage
I keep leftovers for 1-2 days in the fridge, and I reheat them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
FAQs
Since Nutella contains skimmed milk powder, this recipe, unfortunately, is not vegan-friendly. However, you can substitute Nutella with other hazelnut spreads that are free of animal-based ingredients and make the Porridge suitable for a vegan diet.
When the rolled oats have absorbed all of the milk and have turned into a thick creamy mixture, the Porridge is ready to go. This is how you can tell if your Porridge is ready.

Porridge is always my favourite healthy breakfast.
Evelyn says
Can I add cocoa powder instead?
Radwa says
Yes, you can; you may also need to add some sugar. Because cocoa powder is not as sweet as Nutella
Olivia says
Chocolate and porridge, OMG!
