Method:

Porridge works really well in the microwave.  Place the oats in the bottom of a microwavable jug.  The jug needs to have enough space for the porridge to expand.  Add a slug of maple syrup, and the milk.  Heat in the microwave on medium for 2-3 minutes.  Take it out and stir the porridge.  The oats should all have broken down.  If they haven’t, return to the microwave for a few more minutes.Porridge with Maple Syrup and StrawberriesCut the strawberries into slices.
