oat porridge

Hot grain mush

Oat porridge is a hot breakfast dish made by cooking oats in water or milk until soft and thick.

The term is somewhat redundant since porridge typically implies oats, but it distinguishes the dish from porridges made with other grains like rice or cornmeal: She started every morning with a bowl of oat porridge.
