Greetings to you my dear visitors on the pages of my culinary blog!

It so happened that a woman is given nature the right to care about the health of her family. Someone agrees with this, and some do not, but this is the law of nature and you will not argue against it, you have to follow it. And the health of any person depends largely on what he eats. And in terms of cooking, women have a huge responsibility for our family. Thank God for the fact that in our difficult world there are a lot of very tasty and healthy dishes. And today I will tell you how to cook oatmeal porridge in milk and then step by step recipe for you with photos. Everyone already knows that oatmeal is good for health, that it contains a lot of nutrients. Then why not take advantage of this gift of nature to maintain health.

Moreover, it is not difficult to cook porridge from rolled oats, even a child can handle it.

I once heard from one "expert" that cereals with milk cause harm to health and believed her. Since then, cooked porridge only on the water. But recently I became interested in the topic of nutrition and I signed up for a course in nutrition and, naturally, asked a question about the question that tormented me.

The question of the benefits of dairy products really worried me. After all, there are so many disputes about milk today. Some argue that milk and dairy products are beneficial and must be eaten. Others, on the contrary, say the exact opposite. I have long rushed from one opinion to another. And then I realized for myself that in this world there is not a single correct opinion. There is my body, my body, and it knows exactly what it needs. Therefore, I decided that I would listen to my body. And if it wants dairy products, I'll give them to him.

It has already been verified that war with one’s own body will not lead to anything good. In this “war”, everyone will lose: you will get a nervous overstrain, and the body will not receive the necessary substances and will gradually begin to collapse. An organism is a single system and if it lacks at least one substance, even if in a small amount, the whole system suffers. Do you need this? Then do not listen to anyone but yourself and your body.

Step-by-step recipe for cooking oatmeal porridge with milk

Video recipe for cooking oatmeal porridge:

Well, let's start to prepare our milk porridge from hercules. I admit honestly, for a long time I didn’t even guess that hercules should be washed. It always seemed to me that these flakes were already processed and fully ready for use. But once I watched a video about how other people cook this porridge, I heard a woman advise me to wash the flakes. My indignation knew no bounds. I thought, God, what a stupid woman, why make extra gestures when everything is already done for us.

But curiosity is such a thing that does not go away just like that. I did not suffer for a long time and decided to conduct my own experiment. Took and washed cereal. Indeed, a lot of dirt has floated to the surface of the water. And to my great surprise, the oat flakes did not stick together, as I naively believed at the beginning. So, before cooking porridge from rolled oats, be sure to wash it under running water.

After the flakes are washed, pour 3 cups of milk into a saucepan. From the number of products listed in the recipe, I cook porridge for three people and a small dog)))

Add salt, sugar, lay out flakes into milk, mix and set on fire. When the milk boils, reduce the fire to a minimum and periodically stir the boil porridge until cooked.

Surely you are interested in the question of how much to cook oatmeal porridge in milk. The answer is very simple - look at the manufacturer's packaging. I buy rolled oats, which you need to cook for at least 15 minutes.

But I cook porridge for 10 minutes and turn it off. I add butter to the porridge, mix it with a spoon until it is completely dissolved, and cover the saucepan with the lid and leave the porridge to stand for 10-15 minutes.

That's all, oatmeal porridge, cooked in milk is ready. Now we pour it into plates and serve it to the table. If you strictly monitor your health and do not eat white sugar, then sweet dried fruits (raisins, prunes or dates) can be added to the porridge. Thanks to dried fruit porridge turns out not less tasty than with sugar. My kids just can't stand raisins, so I add some sugar.
