Porridge is a fantastic filling breakfast and surprisingly quick to prepare even when you start with the real thing - rolled oats!  This date and walnut version is made with a helping of oat bran (but you can replace this weight for weight with oats if you prefer) - a great healthy, tasty combo, especially good if you are watching your cholesterol!

Warm the milk, oats and oat bran in a non-stick saucepan.
