By spending five minutes prepping porridge the night before, you can wake up and eat a filling breakfast that'll keep you going until lunch - with zero effort!
Wipe the inside of the slow cooker with a little butter or oil to stop your porridge sticking whilst it cooks.
Put the remaining ingredients in the slow cooker, stir well, then cook on low for 8 hours.
Serve with raisins and a drizzle of honey, or any other topping of your choice!

Notes
Make sure you wipe the slow cooker with butter before you fill it, it'll stop the porridge sticking around the edge of the pot.
If the porridge looks a little strange when you come back to it in the morning, don't worry! Give it a good stir and any lumps will break down easily.
If your slow cooker smells of something you've cooked previously then the smell may permeate the porridge. Ensure it's odour free before making this recipe!
We used semi-skimmed milk, full fat is fine too but will produce a creamier porridge.
Once the porridge cools it may go a little jelly-like. When you reheat it, stir in a little milk as it heats to loosen the consistency.
Rolled oats work best because they have the longest cooking time.
