The recipe for my favorite oatmeal with milk and what toppings I add to it

Dear readers, hello! Remember, Barrymore, giving Baskerville porridge, when asked: “What is this?”, solemnly answers: “Oatmeal, sir!” At the beginning of the movie, Baskerville eats the porridge with a wince, but at the end he devolves it with pleasure. This is probably why they prepared it according to a completely different recipe (from whole or crushed oats, and not from purified compressed flakes). Although, seriously, oatmeal is the most delicious dish, and the recipe for making it is completely simple.

On the water

Oatmeal with water is my favorite porridge! This option conveys the taste of the oatmeal itself, so it is not interrupted by milk or all sorts of toppings and sweet additives. I brew Hercules oatmeal with boiling water, add a little salt and just let it brew for 10-12 minutes under the lid. During this period of time, the porridge will swell, increase in size, and become fluffy. I eat it with unrefined sunflower oil. This is quite tasty! Tasty, you say?! But there is no arguing about tastes. Just try to make the world's most ordinary oatmeal, I hope you enjoy it too.

If you still want to add something, don’t do it, although you can eat the porridge as a bite with different fruits: pears, apples, without cutting them, or with sandwiches.

In a slow cooker

Poor multicooker! Stands bored on the shelf. Well, you bought it with pleasure and used it intensively for the first 2-3 months, and later you simply forgot about it. So I suggest cooking porridge in it. It's very comfortable! In the multicooker, an oven effect is created; the cereal is steamed and swells, increasing in size. It turns out to be a wonderful dish. Add any tops to the plate and enjoy.

Whole grain

In order for whole grain oatmeal to turn into a worthy dish, it is imperative to maintain proportions. For one part of whole grain, take 5 parts of water, so that during the long cooking process it does not all evaporate, and the grain becomes soft. Next, everything is according to the traditional recipe. Before cooking, it is better to soak the grain overnight (that is, in the dark) or for several hours in warm water, so that it swells and later cooks more quickly. Usually such porridge needs 50-60 minutes to be one hundred percent cooked. Although it will never be very soft and airy. This is a coarse peasant dish, and in our time it is, naturally, not an acquired taste.

Frisky made (from flakes) with blueberries

In the modern world, you can prepare porridge for breakfast in just 3 minutes. Naturally, you need to take care in advance - buy quick-cooking oatmeal and some tops to decorate the dish later. I advise you not to even cook this porridge, but simply steam it with boiling water for 3-5 minutes, covering the bowl with a lid. When it “cooks”, in other words, increases in size - swells, add blueberries and honey or some other sweetener. If you don't have any newfangled maple syrup in your cupboard, then take some jam out of the refrigerator. Oatmeal with jam will remind you of your childhood.

With butter

“You can’t spoil porridge with butter!” - says a Russian proverb, although I don’t advise you to oil it too much, simply because it will be very nutritious. I usually put a tablespoon of butter or ghee in a huge bowl. We cook oatmeal according to the traditional recipe in water or milk, add salt, add a little sugar or honey and add butter. Naturally, with butter it turns out very tasty, but if you are a vegan or fasting, then feel free to pour in any vegetable with a smell, in other words, unrefined. Believe me, it's worth experiencing!

Benefits for the body

The benefits of oatmeal cannot be overestimated, because it:

is a source of vitamins A, E, K, PP and group B;
has a wide range of minerals: potassium, magnesium, iodine, phosphorus, calcium, sulfur, iron, nickel and others;
lowers cholesterol (an organic compound, a natural fatty, lipophilic alcohol found in the cell membranes of all living organisms except non-nuclear ones) and the risk of developing blood clots;
helps improve the digestion process, kidney function, and thyroid function;
is the best healthy breakfast for kids and adults, containing carbohydrates, proteins and fiber.

Useful tips

In my opinion, porridge must be porridge, and if you make a dessert out of it, well, that’s your right, although it’s no longer porridge! Therefore, deviating from the traditional recipe, I do not put sugar or sweeteners in it. I prefer the salty, “masculine” version.
How long to cook oatmeal is up to everyone to decide for themselves. It's a matter of experience! No matter how many tips you read until you try it yourself 100 times, you won’t be convinced over the course of production time. The only thing I can literally say is that oatmeal is prepared simply and quickly.
If the porridge comes out watery, it’s easy to fix: cook longer so that the liquid evaporates; add the main ingredient and cook more; add more topcoats that will change the density.
Quite often I make oatmeal with banana for breakfast. From time to time I simply cut the banana into slices and add it to the plate, but if the banana is very ripe, then I mash it with a fork.
I make breakfast for the kids from oatmeal, which you can buy in the store or create yourself using a blender or coffee grinder. Beat the most delicate porridge made from oatmeal in water with a banana using an immersion blender, you get an oat-banana mousse. Add something sweet to it.
If you want to get a good, cheerful men's breakfast during the day, I advise you to pour 4 beaten eggs into boiling oatmeal, stirring evenly, and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Then steam under the lid for 5 minutes. Sugar is usually not added to this dish, although for men with a sweet tooth it is possible.
Even such an ordinary product as porridge requires a beautiful frame, so get the best utensils and take your favorite spoon. Delicious porridge deserves it.

Conclusion

We prepared oatmeal according to the usual traditional recipe. We made it with milk and figured out how to cook it without milk. We found out what to add to make it even tastier. Although, if you dig deep, the recipe for oatmeal is endlessly varied. We are sure that you have your own signature recipes for making oatmeal, write about them in the comments, we are curious to find out something new.
