Ingredients

Plain Oatmeal

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • topping of your choice

Chocolate Oatmeal

  • 1/4 cup quick oats
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon coco powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon custard powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • topping of your choice

Instructions

Plain Oatmeal

  • Add 1 cup water to a sauce pan and let it boil.
  • Add 1/2 cup rolled oats to it.
  • Add 1 cup milk to it. You can cook completely in milk too. Use fresh boiled milk.
  • Give a quick mix and cook in low medium flame.
  • Note : The measure of milk and water depends on the variety of oats used so change it accordingly.
  • Keep cooking it starts to thicken and the liquid will be absorbed by oats.
  • See the texture it is still not soft and cooked fully.
  • Keep cooking until most of the liquid is absorbed and oats turns soft and slightly mushy.
  • After 5 minutes oats is cooked soft and is slightly mushy. You can mash it slightly if you prefer to have it that way.
  • Oats porridge is almost ready. If you like it more mushy then cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Add 1 tablespoon sugar to it.
  • Give a quick mix and switch off. Oatmeal porridge is ready!
  • Scoop it to a bowl. Top it with fruits, nuts, drizzle honey and serve! I added chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds, fresh strawberries and finally drizzled honey. You can add any topping of your preference.

Chocolate Oatmeal

  • First take 1/2 teaspoon custard powder and 1 teaspoon coco powder in a bowl and add little milk to form a smooth paste without any lumps,Set aside. Now heat 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup water, add sugar and let it boil.
  • Add custard powder coco powder paste and mix well, use a whisk to avoid lumps. Now add 1/4 cup quick oats and let it cook.
  • Once oats turns soft, switch off. While serving add milk if needed. Top it with any dry fruits and nuts of your choice.
  • Serve hot / warm.

Notes

  • You can add 1 tablespoon cocoa powder along with 1/2 teaspoon custard powder to water make a paste and add it.
  • Adjust sugar quantity according to your taste.
  • Tastes great with chilled milk too.
  • Add any fruit of your choice. This is just my idea, feel free to modify according to your preference.
  • Oats porridge usually gets thick with time so while serving add milk to get porridge consistency.
  • Add a teaspoon of drizzled honey while serving.
  • I used rolled oats. You can use quick oats or steel cut oats too.
  • You can even cook oats in water and then add to milk but I prefer cooking oats in milk itself.
