How to Cook Oatmeal on the Stove

Oatmeal and chocolate cookies

Ingredients

Scale

Base Recipe

  • 1 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup of oat (quick oat or rolled oats)
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup of milk choice

Banana Nut Recipe

  • 1/2 sliced banana
  • 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed
  • 1/8 ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons of walnut

Chocolate Peanut Butter Recipe

  • 1 teaspoon of roasted peanuts
  • 2 teaspoons of chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon of peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder

Cream and Strawberry

  • 1/8 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons of honey
  • 1/2 cup sliced strawberries

Maple Brown Sugar

  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons pecans chopped
  • 1/8 ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon packed brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Combine the oats, milk, salt, and butter in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat.
  2. Continue stirring until the combination begins to bubble and the oats soften. This should take 5 minutes, and the mixture should be thick and creamy at the end. If you love a thinner texture, add more milk or water to your oatmeal.
  3. Mix in any extra add-ins you want. Sugar, cocoa powder, peanut butter, and mashed peanut butter are all great sweet mix-ins to use right now. You could also use cheese and herbs to make savory oatmeal.
  4. Place the cooked oats in a bowl. Add in any additional mix-ins, such as nuts, dried berries, or bacon, if desired.
