Recipe Tips & Suggestions
Why isn't my oatmeal creamy?
Your oatmeal might not be creamy if the liquid to oats ratio is low or if it isn't cooked long enough. A combination of water and milk often yields creamier results.
What is the best way to make oatmeal thicker?
To make oatmeal thicker, use a higher ratio of oats to liquid, or cook your oats longer to allow more liquid to be absorbed.
Does stirring oatmeal make it creamier?
Yes, stirring oatmeal can help release the natural starches in the oats, making the oatmeal creamier.
How to make your oatmeal creamy without milk?
You can make oatmeal creamy without milk by cooking it longer and stirring regularly to release the oats' natural creaminess. Also, using a type of oats that is less processed like steel-cut oats can result in a creamier texture.
Should I use milk or water for oatmeal?
It's really up to personal preference. Some people like milk's creaminess, while others prefer the lighter texture of oatmeal made with water. In this recipe, we use a combination of both water and homemade almond milk for a perfect balance.
