Oatmeal is one of the few grains that cooks very quickly. Some people prefer not to cook it at all, but to steam or soak it. This recipe for oatmeal cooked in a slow cooker will come in handy for all lovers of fast and healthy food.

The five most commonly used ingredients in slow cooker oatmeal recipes are:

Subtleties in the cooking process vary and depend on the specific recipe. The size of the flakes and their thickness also matter. This mainly affects the choice of volume of liquid, water, milk or cream. For thick and large flakes that absorb a lot of moisture, liquid is taken in a ratio of 1:3. For delicate, small and thin flakes, 1:2 is enough. It is also worth considering the thickness of the porridge: some people like it thicker, some like it thinner.

The standard “Porridge” program in any multicooker is designed for more serious grains like rice or pearl barley. This mode is not suitable for rolled oats - it takes too long. For oatmeal in a slow cooker, about ten minutes at most is enough. When the multita turns off, you don’t need to open the lid right away - you should wait another ten minutes. During this time, the porridge will “calm down”, infuse, become tastier, and the foam will settle.

Healthy oat milk porridge cooked in a slow cooker

No, don't rush to scroll through this recipe! We understand that most of you have memories of a kindergarten gray mass that vaguely resembles porridge. And how did they manage to cook it like that?

In fact, oatmeal is quite delicious porridge, moreover, it contains a whole storehouse of useful substances - folic acid, vitamins A and B, not to mention iron and calcium.

Today's recipe is easy to prepare - in fact, you just need to put all the ingredients for the porridge in a multicooker and wait for a delicious breakfast.

By the way, oatmeal is perhaps the only porridge that you can not cook right away, but select the “Delayed Start” or “Timer” function and be sure that the porridge will not turn into that terrible paste that everyone dislikes so much. Load up the groceries in the evening and enjoy in the morning delicious breakfast from oatmeal.

Before we start cooking according to our photo instructions, it’s worth learning a few culinary tricks when preparing oatmeal porridge in a slow cooker:

• If you cook porridge not from oatmeal, but from oat flakes (when the grain is cleaned and flattened into a petal), then choose a variety that will cook for at least 30 minutes.
• Cereals quick cooking you shouldn’t choose, because firstly, they contain practically no useful substances, and secondly, if you cook such flakes in a slow cooker, you will get something pureed.
• Milk oatmeal in a multicooker will require more liquid than if you cooked it in a saucepan, since the oatmeal completely swells during cooking in the multicooker. The ideal ratio to prepare porridge is 1 multi-cup of oatmeal to 4 multi-cups of liquid.
• A separate nuance of cooking in a multicooker is that the kitchen assistant will cook without boiling. Therefore, it is better to use pasteurized or sterilized milk, and filtered water.
• A variety of additives in the form of fruits, berries or pieces of chocolate should be added to the porridge already laid out on plates. Products placed in the multicooker during the cooking process will be overcooked, and the oatmeal itself in the multicooker may take on an unappetizing hue.

The specified amount of products will yield 2-3 servings, depending on the appetite of the eater. Accordingly, if you cook for large quantity people, the recipe requires increasing the amount of ingredients.

Step 1

Oatmeal is good because it does not require additional rinsing under water. Not every breakfast porridge recipe has such a solid advantage. Place a piece of butter on the bottom of the multi-bowl (see photo).

Pour in oatmeal.

Fill with milk and water.

On a note: You can, of course, cook it entirely in milk or in water, there are such recipes, but we believe that if you cook it with whole milk, the porridge will turn out to be too fatty, and in the second case, it will be too thin and tasteless.

Step 2

Add salt and sugar to taste (by the way, if you are a follower of diets, then it is better to avoid butter and sugar in the porridge. It is better to replace them with one or two teaspoons of honey, added to the plate of the finished porridge).

Stir everything carefully using a special spatula so as not to scratch the ceramic coating.

Close the lid of the multicooker, select the “Milk porridge” or “Pilaf” mode if it is not available. And we will cook for 30 minutes.

On a note: if you really want to, you can diversify the recipe by adding apples directly to the bowl of the multicooker. Just peel and core one or two apples and cut them into small cubes. You need to cook this porridge for about 40 minutes.

Step 3

Now it's time to create! Place the finished porridge on plates and add whatever you like. Here are just some recipes for additives so that oatmeal in a slow cooker is not completely boring:

• finely grated cheese;
• a mixture of honey and cocoa;
• fresh or frozen fruits and berries;
• banana, sliced ​​and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar;
• peanut paste;
• coconut flakes and chocolate, broken into pieces.

Here is a simple photo recipe for today.

This is interesting:

Oatmeal can serve not only as the basis for a healthy breakfast, but also serve as a delicious dinner or lunch if it’s left over from the morning! If for some reason the cooked porridge without sugar remains uneaten, there is no need to throw it away.

You just need to add a delicious meat dressing to it - any meat fried with onions and spices, and leave it on the “Warming” mode for 15 minutes. During this time, the obedient oatmeal will absorb the aromas of fried meat, and here is a quick dinner for a quick fix ready.
