How To Cook The Best Oatmeal Ever

Check out the new version of this video here:
• How to Cook Oatmeal - ...
Don't like oatmeal? Don't know how to cook oatmeal? No worries, I have the best way to cook oatmeal that will turn the hardest of critics into a fan! Not to mention how healthy it is to have a bowl of oatmeal everyday, but to do so, it helps that it tastes great!
Okay, so "The Best Oatmeal Ever" might be just my own opinion, because I know there are a lot of people who don't like the taste of oatmeal mainly because of it's bland taste. I used to think the same way until I tried Quaker Oats old fashioned oatmeal the way you see me cook the oatmeal in this video, and from then on I've been hooked. To me it is the "best oatmeal ever"! So I hope you learn my secret and learn to enjoy oatmeal the way I do.
The way I cook oatmeal gives it a whole new meaning to lumpy oatmeal. Everyone has different preferences in how they like their oatmeal and how to cook their oatmeal. Whole discussions will ensue on how oatmeal should be eaten. But not a lot of talk on how to cook oatmeal. Why? Well, because how to cook oatmeal should be a given. Probably one of the simplest way to cook anything. Just add water and let the oatmeal cook for a few minutes and add a whole lot of other stuff (sugar, salt, syrup, cinnamon, etc) to hide the flavor, and that's it! Right? Wrong!!
How to cook the best oatmeal ever takes a whole new way to cooking oatmeal. To cook oatmeal takes about five minutes and a careful eye to make sure you cook the oatmeal just right. After that, you can add any combination of healthy fruit of your liking, even nuts, which is my favorite, for a completely delicious breakfast.
This is the way how I cook the best oatmeal ever:
1 1/2 cups of water
3/4 cup of Quaker Oats Old Fashioned Oat Meal
Optional: 1 banana and a handful of blueberries
First pour 1 1/2 cup of water in a medium size pan and let it boil. When water boils, add 3/4 cup of Quaker Oats Old Fashioned Oatmeal, stir it just to soak it into the water. Let it cook for about a minute and a half, or until the foam gets too high in the pan. Just as a side note: I only use Quaker Oats Old Fashioned Oatmeal, because it is the only oatmeal that will, once cooked, have the texture that makes the best oatmeal ever. After a minute and a half stir it a few times just to move things around a bit, and let it cook for another minute or so, then start stirring it until you start seeing the bottom of the pan each time your stirring utensil goes through the oatmeal. Once you start seeing that happen, then it becomes your preference on how you like your oatmeal; you can make it as dry as you want or leave it that way because at this point, you just have cooked the best oatmeal ever! Personally, I like it on the dryer side.
Then I add a banana, which I split into four long strips and then chop it in bits to give me the maximum amount to little bits of banana through out my oatmeal. I also add blueberries. Sometimes I'll add almonds, which is also awesome.
And there you have it! How to cook the best oatmeal ever! Probably one of the best breakfast food you'll ever have in a daily basis. There are a lot of benefits from eating oatmeal regularly, one of them being the ability to help control cholesterol.

This video helped me learn how to cook oatmeal because my family never made it before and/or said they didn't like it. I have however tweaked it for taste... Equal parts of oats, almond milk, and water (I use a cup just for me 😊), a little salt, cinnamon, half a chopped apple and some raisins...they get softer when cooked with the o.m. Top with remaining chopped apple, cinnamon, and a drizzle of real maple syrup or honey. NO sugar needed. I have converted those who wouldn't eat it before 😁

For a long time now, I've made oatmeal this way. In a 4 cup (1 quart) microwave bowl, combine 3 tbs. of old fashioned oatmeal with 1 baby spoon of stevia sweetener. Add a covering of cinnamon to taste (I'm pretty generous with this). Now add 1/3 cup of Silk Milk and stir a little. Pop the bowl into your microwave for 1 minute, stir to break up any lumps, then add about 50 more seconds microwave time. Remove from oven and stir in approx 3 tablespoons of peanut butter until well blended and finally, add 3 tablespoons (or to taste) of ground flax seed. Yummy! This recipe has worked most well for me! It has great legs so can carry you to lunch without sugar spikes! Enjoy.

Nice video, for those that are not a fan of oat meal but eat it as a weight lost breakfast, I recommend getting an oatmeal that has 4-5g of sugar in it.

[@vickyiliaens1000]

Finally someone who cooks the oats as i do , keypoint here is that not many are aware of the following misunderstandings 1. Oats are healthy so i add milk ... No that way it is no longer the healhy kind of oats unless it is milk from oats , soy or whatever yet another common mistake is the kind of food you optionally add , i noticed many having oats with banana and milk , now why do i know this is not good? Oats are glutenfree grains that consist of a lot of water and essential minerals etc so adding milk will make the milk sort of flush down the toilet due stimula for bowel , it doesnt get enough time to be fully absorbed by the body , so if you believevyou already had your daily glas and a half of dairy think again , secondly in the banana case you do not wanna add milk to this , milk and banana is really just the opposites from eachother making the oats reduce your bloodsugarlevels that much you are gonna crave for sugars, but add water and have it cooked and what you get are oats that have been drinking , read "like fresh harvested full oats " , that way all the beneficial sides from oats can do their job properly , even when adding banana because the water is longer inside and you dont flush anything down to the toilet . Ps i do c dislikes , perhaps those folks didnt have a clue its the clean healthy way . Thumbs up !

For the most fluffy n creamy oats simply add 4 heaping spoons of oats to a mug or a quacker packet . Then add ass much water as there are oats or maybe a little more depending on your prefrence. Add your cinnamon or nutmeg if adding then mix for one minute (mixing for 1 minute is the most important part). Put in microwave for 1 minute to 2 minutes. Add your sweetner and what not and you should have some good as oats! The point of mixing the oats before microwaving is to speed up the cooking procces and to sort of make a oat milk with the water and oats. You are very welcome.

Thanks for the tip it's helpful, but I recommend u not to use spoon for stirring as u can see your pan is scratched at the bottom basically it's mixing with your meal and it's not good at all for your health u better use wooden spoon. Thanks :)

[@PauloMachadoPumpkins]

Thank you Kidi! Yes I've been told that before and I realize that is not good. I used that pot because it was the only one available at that time when I made the video. I usually use a much shallow stainless steel pot. I appreciate the tip very much, thank you!

[@kidimekonene380]

Your most welcome dear Paulo :-) and I had today your oatmeal and it was amazing thanks again, have a great day :-)

[@PauloMachadoPumpkins]

Thank you Kidi! You just made my day a great day!

0:08 CORRECTION!!! 1 CUP AND A HALF

[@PauloMachadoPumpkins]

Thank you! You’re completely correct! I messed up on that portion of the video! I appreciate your correction. If anyone reads this, you can find the correct measurements in the video’s description.

I was gonna say the same

[@cristinatrujillo6810]

Thank you sir! My mom usually makes a big batch during the week, but she's out of town and now I have to fend for myself. I boiling some cinnamon stick in the water. Soo tasty! Thank you again for sharing :)

[@PauloMachadoPumpkins]

You're very welcome! I'm glad you liked it! And isn't that one of the first things we learn when we have to fend for ourselves as young adults? How precious our moms really are!! Lol

[@professordukenberry9071]

quaker quick oats 1/2 cup oats 3 cups water (6:1 ratio water to oats) bring water to boil on high, once boiling reduce to simmer (3 if your stove has a 1 - 10/max ). proceed to cook for 30 minutes. this will provide you with a delicious bowl of porridge that resembles the way it was cooked in the past. you will not drain water from oats, it will be a milky texture, to which u add your desired flavor enhancers.

[@PauloMachadoPumpkins]

That sounds like it would be a really good recipe! Thank you for sharing!

[@erkxbr]

Thanks, you saved my morning.

+Pinky Kpop you're welcome! I'm glad I could help.

[@cerralplaysroblox5353]

Pinky Kpop the 1 reason I don't like oatmeal is because it causes me to fart a lot and when I need to poop it feels like someone put a match up my butt and the effect lasts long.

[@PauloMachadoPumpkins]

You can add milk but I think it would be better if you cooked it with milk all together. I have a video that I show how I cook it with milk: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnSxmqGqf6d_e68

[@GeonSky14]

try soakig and rinsing it after 4-8-12 hours and then try to eat it to see how it goes,its the phytic acid.

[@beautygloss19]

omg thank you soo mcuh for this, i hated oatmeal because it was always gooey but wit this is almost like cereal i cant thank you enough

[@PauloMachadoPumpkins]

You're welcome! I am happy I could help you! I felt the same exact way about oatmeal until I started to cook it the way I do now!

[@user-vf3pt4gv6i]

Thanks man, I love this recipe so much, been eating oatmeal and fruits for breakfast since i turned 14 two years ago. I used to always use the steel cut ones but after this I tried using the old fashioned and it was great, it was more like cereal to me than oatmeal because of the longer cooking time, which I loved.

[@PauloMachadoPumpkins]

This is the type of comment that makes me making this video all worth it! Thank you so much. Let me tell you that I felt the same exact way. I purchase the old fashion oatmeal as a fluke... it wasn’t intentional... to me oatmeal was oatmeal... I didn’t think there was a difference. But it sure does. Yes, the recipe is nothing special, but that’s why beauty of it... even as simple as it is, it still tastes amazing. At least to us it does... 😉

[@christianaceves1549]

Thanks for the recipe! Today I woke up ina good mood and I decieded to make my parents oatmeal! But they werent to appreciative and I ended up leaving it get cold on the kitchen table. (In 13 and this was the first time I ever decieded to cook for my parents.)

[@PauloMachadoPumpkins]

Well Christian, the thing is that you tried and that’s all that matters just remember to read the recipe from the video description because I mess up in the water measurements. Otherwise you should be good!

[@christianaceves1549]

Paulo Machado thanks!

[@aqueenslander]

Microwave is so much easier especially in the morning getting ready for work. Do the mix in a bowl and zap for 2 minutes then check to see if the consistency is right or else give it a stir and hit the button for another minute. You have time to do other things while it cooks rather than standing over the pot stirring. Done😃

[@PauloMachadoPumpkins]

Ha! It’s a good recipe to get glue for sure! Lol I am kidding… you’re right… I just prefer it this way… in my mind I feel like it tastes better the way I cook it! But that’s just in my mind… I might be wrong… 😉

[@594kk]

Thanks Paulo, I was going to buy it at a restaurant, but it was faster to make it at home after I watched your video.

[@PauloMachadoPumpkins]

[@vatsalchaudhari3848]

Thanks, it was a very simple yet informative video! I will definitely try making oatmeal using ur recipe.

[@PauloMachadoPumpkins]

Thank you! Nice to know I could help!

[@Mistanyycguy]

I use oat milk in mine and add chia seeds, walnuts, banana, blueberry, cinnamon and some tahini or nut butter. Sometimes I will add vanilla coconut yogurt instead of the nut butter.

[@PauloMachadoPumpkins]

That sounds good actually! Make that video! I’ll watch it!

[@redmamba4695]

Thank you for keeping it simple. I'm a teen and don't know how to cook at all

[@PauloMachadoPumpkins]

That’s the whole point of the video: to keep it simple. And don’t worry, you’ll learn your own ways of cooking eventually! It’s only a matter of time. Thanks for the comment and the view!

[@cocopebbles7713]

That's the way I make mine. 🙂 I also add some pieces of almonds or walnuts with a slice of toasted whole grain wheat bread. My cup of milk, since I drink water the rest of the day. That's it! No added sugar, because the fruit especially the banana is already sweet. Delicious! Very healthy. Thanks for sharing. Just subscribed.

[@ritabos895]

My oatmeal is the best ever. Boil cashew milk, add oatmeal lower heat, when it gets to the consistency that you want, turn off the heat put a tablespoon peanut butter and for sweetness add maple syrup but not too much because the oatmeal is already mildly sweet just add maple syrup for that extra sweetness. Top it with your favorite fruit or nuts. I dont use any because its so good just with maple syrup and pb.

[@PauloMachadoPumpkins]

+Rita Bos thanks Rita! Great tips!

[@jasmynrivera9559]

Rita Bos maple syrup is full of sugars and high fructose corn syrup it's not natural unless you get the organic

[@margelph73]

finally a simple video that shows you how to basically cook

[@PauloMachadoPumpkins]

Thank you so much!

[@connflicts]

Thanks for this video I still come back to it and use it to make oatmeal. I cook my oatmeal, and add 1 tbs of peanut butter and 1 chopped banana

[@robmcghie5248]

Keep eating oats every which way. Much much healthier for the body than all those unnatural sugary breakfast cereals kids eat that won't give the sustainable energy that oats do. Children need a filling breakfast to get them through a school day without getting hyper active. If you can avoid dairy all the better. Scots porridge oats is what we have over here. For variety I am going to toast my oats with nuts and seeds to make a home made granola. Any suggestions here would be welcomed as home made is always healthier and cheaper than commercial 'products' Sharing recipe boards on Pinterest is an idea. I have Pressure king pro and would love to learn how to make real yogurt.

[@exosvocals2526]

Very true! I used to eat something sugary with milk in the morning. Had me full for some time but never really gave me energy I hoped for. I recently started makeing my own healthy oatmeal, the old-fashioned oats, and I kid you not best breakfast I've had! It has me full with energy and I really enjoy the whole oats. One thing I also love from this is that its delicious, but healthy!

[@lanaebarb346]

Rob McGhie:. These boxed cold cereals are not healthy! They are just chemicals, sugar, and air! No food value at all! You eat it and half-hour later, you are hungry again!

+Matt Goldstone thank you! Thanks for watching!

[@benbakker6397]

I use boiled water to speed up cooking. Add oats, then dried fruits & then fresh fruit of my choice & milk last so it is not thick but like a porridge, smooth. Add brown sugar to your taste while eating. Mrs. T. Bakker.

Those are really good tips! Thank you for sharing!

Watching this video while eating oatmeal

[@PauloMachadoPumpkins]

Good to know you enjoy your oatmeal!

[@ijulesy]

Adding milk (including things like oat milk) is so much more delicious than water imo...

[@PauloMachadoPumpkins]

I agree. I only cook it with water because of health reasons, but given a choice I would prefer milk as well!
