Preparation
1. Prepare the ingredients listed. Pour the milk into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over low heat. It is advisable to stir constantly if film and foam appear.
2. When the milk starts to boil, add a little salt and sugar and pour in the cereal in a thin stream. Don't rinse oatmeal before cooking!
3. Cook the porridge over low heat for five to eight minutes, stirring constantly so that nothing burns at the bottom of the pan. During the cooking process, oatmeal flakes actively absorb milk, increase in size and swell. As a result, the porridge begins to thicken and become viscous.
4. When all the milk has been absorbed and the consistency of the porridge suits you, remove the pan with the porridge from the stove. Then cover it with a lid, leaving it for 5 minutes so that it simmers and infuses a little.
5. Oatmeal is ready according to a very simple and affordable recipe. Serve in portioned plates, adding a little butter. If you wish, you can decorate the dish with nuts, fruits and berries. It should be noted that oatmeal goes well with banana and apple.
Porridge cooked in this way turns out to be unusually tender, aromatic, satisfying and tasty. One plate of this delicacy for breakfast will provide you with a good mood, energy, and a charge of vivacity until the evening.

Milk can be diluted with water in half or according to preference and the porridge can be cooked in such a proportion that will give the desired consistency to the finished dish. In the short video below, you will see how to quickly cook delicious oatmeal with milk and water.
Useful tips
- The proportions for preparing oatmeal with milk are the same as with water. For thick porridge, take one glass of cereal to two glasses of liquid , for medium thickness the proportion is 1:3, and very thin porridge, which is often prepared for babies, is obtained at a ratio of 1:4.
- Cook the porridge over low heat so that it does not burn or run away.
How to serve
Divide the finished porridge into portions, and sprinkle your favorite nuts or berries on top to taste. You can also top the porridge with fruit jam or add honey . Please note that it is better not to combine honey with hot food, as it loses its beneficial qualities.
Other preparation and filling options
As a rule, porridge cooked with milk is a sweet dish and is served with appropriate additional ingredients (sugar, fruit, etc.). Porridge cooked in water , and it can also be salted and served accompanied by some meat or fish (cutlets, meatballs, sausages, etc.)
Quick oatmeal breakfast
I would also call this dish “breakfast for the lazy.” :) I admit that I myself belong to such lazy people. Therefore, I suggest you prepare a quick, healthy, and most importantly, delicious breakfast using rolled oats. I indicated the list of ingredients for one serving; if you are cooking for all family members, then the amount of products must be increased accordingly.
What products will you need:
- 200 milligrams of regular milk;
- 2-3 tablespoons of rolled oats;
- a pinch of fine salt.
How to cook:
- Pour the milk into a small saucepan and place on low heat. We wait until the milk starts to boil, add our rolled oats and cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes. Leave the finished oatmeal to steep under the lid for another 5 minutes.
- That's it, our quick and dietary breakfast is ready. You can add a spoonful of natural honey or a small handful of steamed dried fruits to the porridge.
I don't like thick oatmeal, so I used a little more milk.
If you haven’t finished the whole bowl of porridge, don’t rush to throw away the leftovers, apply them to the skin of your hands for 15-20 minutes, and then rinse with warm water. The effect is simply amazing, the skin brightens, becomes soft and silky.

Tips for choosing products
- There are two types of oatmeal: “Extra” and “Hercules”. The Hercules oatmeal variety has the thickest flakes. “Extra” usually comes in three grades, which indicate the degree of processing.
- The most delicate flakes No. 3, they are most often purchased for small children, as well as for people with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Flakes No. 2 are thin, they are made from chopped cereals. “Extra” No. 1 is made from whole grains. They are denser and contain the highest amount of carbohydrates.
Step-by-step preparation
- Pour a glass of oatmeal into the pan. There is no need to rinse it.
- Add 2 glasses of milk. If you want the porridge to cook faster, add the milk while it is hot. This proportion is 1:2, in my opinion, the most successful for preparing oatmeal with milk.
- Bring to a boil. At this stage, add salt and sugar to taste. Or you can not add them now, as I do, but add them to the already prepared dish.
- Turn off the stove. Set the pan aside, cover it with a lid and wait about 5-7 minutes. During this time, the cereal will absorb almost all the milk.
- If desired, season the hot porridge with butter and serve.
Additional Information
Oatmeal porridge with milk is a product with a fairly high calorie content; if you cook it without sugar, the calorie content per 100 grams will be approximately 80 kcal, but an added spoon of sugar will increase the calorie content to 90 kcal. A piece of butter on a plate and the energy value will increase to at least 120 kcal per 100 grams. That is why it is recommended to eat such a product in the morning, so that the body effectively manages its energy wealth during the day.
The total cooking time for oatmeal for four servings is approximately twenty minutes; the great convenience is that with the help of fruits, berries, honey, nuts and candied fruits you can give it different flavors and cook it almost every day.
To prepare oatmeal, it is best to use Hercules cereal. Unlike crushed oatmeal, the grains for this cereal are not crushed, but flattened in drums. This processing method is cold, so the usefulness of Hercules is absolutely equal to the usefulness of crushed cereal, but it cooks many times faster. Oat flakes called Extra under different numbers are prepared even faster, but are pre-heat treated, which significantly reduces the usefulness of the product.
Fun oatmeal "Smiley"
You and I, dear girls, understand how beneficial oatmeal is for our slim figure, so we are happy to cook it for breakfast. But what about children who, as you know, would rather have breakfast with a sandwich or cake? How to persuade a little fussy eater to eat right? I suggest making a fun porridge for your child that your little one will gobble up on both cheeks.
You will need:
- 100-150 milligrams of fresh milk;
- 2 incomplete spoons of oatmeal;
- half a teaspoon of cocoa powder;
- 1-2 spoons of sugar;
- raisin;
- any nuts.
How to cook:
- Boil milk in a saucepan, add oatmeal and cook for 10-15 minutes. How long does it take to cook porridge? Depends on the size of the flakes: the smaller they are, the faster it will cook.
- Add sugar and cocoa to the oatmeal and stir thoroughly.
- Decorate the finished porridge with raisins and nuts, imitating a smiley face (make eyes from raisins and a smile from nuts). The child's delight is guaranteed!
You can decorate the porridge not only in the form of a smiley face, but also “draw” the face of a bunny or kitten on it.
This porridge can be fed to a child who is already three years old or more. Until the age of three, it is not advisable to add cocoa and nuts to oatmeal.
