Oats are a delicious breakfast or snack.Even nut milk or soy milk can be used to cook oats.Adding milk to oats makes the dish extra creamy and is a great way to add calcium and protein to your diet.You can cook the oats on the stove or in the microwave.Try to vary the dish with different ingredients.You can choose from berries, Greek yoghurt, honey, peaches, or canned fruit.
Step 1: Milk can be boiled on the stovetop.
Put 1 cup of milk into a small saucepan.Place the saucepan on the stove top and wait for it to boil.Almond, coconut, soy, and oat milk can be used in this recipe.If you want oats with a creamy taste, use full-fat milk.The number of people you are serving should be taken into account.If you serve 5 people, add 5 portions of each ingredient.
Step 2: The oats should be put into the milk.
Carefully pour the oats into the hot milk.Use a spoon to mix the oats and milk.Old-fashioned oats are sometimes called rolled oats.If you want, add a pinch of salt.
Step 3: The oats should be cooked over medium heat.
The oats will stick to the bottom of the saucepan if the heat is turned down to medium.If you want the oats to cook evenly, stir them every minute.Cook oats for 1 minute, rolled or old-fashioned for 5 minutes, and steel-cut for 20 minutes.To find out if the oats are cooked to your liking, use a spoon.Leave them to cook for 1 more minute if they are still a little firm.
Step 4: The oats should cool for 3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan of oats from the heat and place it on a chopping board.This allows the oats to be eaten at a cooler temperature.Leave the oats to cool for another 2 minutes if they still feel too hot to eat after 3 minutes.
Step 5: Milk and rolled oats should be put into a bowl.
Measure the oats and milk into a bowl that can hold at least 2 cups of liquid.Stir the oats and milk with a spoon.You can use your favourite type of milk.The oats will have the creamiest taste with full-fat milk.The recipe uses nut milk and soy milk.The number of people you are serving should be taken into account.If you serve 4 people, add 4 portions of each ingredient.If you want, add a pinch of salt.
Step 6: For a short time, microwave the oats.
Set the microwave to cook on the hottest setting and place the bowl of oats there.Roll or old-fashioned oats take 2 1/2 to 3 minutes to cook.For 5 minutes, cook steel-cut oats.
Step 7: Put the oats in a container.
Remove the cooked oats from the microwave and use a spoon to stir the mixture until it is evenly distributed through the oats.If you want to avoid burns, use an oven mitt.Leave the oats to cool.
Step 8: A container with a lid is needed to measure the oats and milk.
Add milk and oats to a container.Plastic bowls and jars work well for this method.For a creamy taste, use full-fat milk or low fat milk.The number of people you are serving should be taken into account.If you serve 3 people, add 3 portions of each ingredient.
Step 9: The oats and milk should be mixed with a spoon.
The oats will be dispersed through the milk.The oats are at the bottom of the container.If you are having trouble mixing oats, shake the container tightly and put the lid on it.
Step 10: The container should be in the fridge.
Put the container of oats in the fridge.For 8 hours, leave the oats in the fridge.The oats are cold in the morning.You can serve the oats with your favorite topping.
Step 11: If you want a fresh taste, top your oats with your favorite fruit.
Put your favourite fruit on top of the oats.If you want to add a fresh flavour to your breakfast, use canned fruit.There is a delicious combination of flavours.Bananas add natural sweetness to oats.There are fresh-sliced plums and apples to choose from.
Step 12: Adding honey or syrup to the oats will make them sweeter.
You can choose between maple syrup or golden syrup.To add a delicious, sweet flavour, pour a small amount of the sweetener evenly over the oats.Maple syrup works well with fruit.It tastes great with apples and berries.
Step 13: If you want a rich, creamy texture, pour milk, yogurt, or cream over the oats.
Adding liquid helps to keep the oats cool.Cream has an extra creamy flavour.Milk is a better choice if you prefer a lighter flavour.Try different flavoured yoghurts, such as Greek, fruit, or honey.On top of oats are Greek yogurt, honey, and berries.
