Is porridge meant to be sticky?

I make a smooth porridge with quick oats and water. Quick oats are precooked. Then I might add some sultanas, chopped banana, brown sugar, butter, milk

Er, quick oats are not pre-cooked. They are rolled thinner and ground up smaller so they cook very quickly. That is all. Unless the packet says of course.

  You are right, they are the same , quick is just rolled thinner
  
  but both have already been partially steam cooked

Sticky is probably not the right word, I find non oat porridges all a bit grainy in texture unless I do a quick blitz with the stick blender. Unfortunately oats are not for me anymore

  Have you tried ground rice porridge? It’s delicious and very easy to cook.
