In my opinion, oatmeal is the easiest dish you can ever cook. The simplest oatmeal requires only four ingredients (old-fashioned oats, milk, a dash of salt, and water). Moreover, they are delicious and good for health too. In addition to this, you can cook them in only 2 minutes, the quickest recipe ever, and the only dish that can tussle with it are the 2-minute noodles, and since they are unhealthy, oats are the obvious winner.

Thus, if you are late for your office or are feeling lazy, you can cook oatmeal without hassle.

Moreover, you can always add some of your favorite toppings to the oats recipe and savor the taste of oats with your delicious toppings.

Preparing oats is not a cumbersome process, so people like to eat them. However, it is not always easy to get the taste right. And this makes people wary of eating oats.

Therefore, in this article, we will be discussing different types of oats, the standard oats recipe with milk, some variations of oats recipes that you can experiment with, and finally, we will be taking a look at the different toppings that can be used with oats.

Types of oats:

There are three different types of oats. I love all of them. However, for every person, there is always one that is more favorable than the other. So, my tip to you is that try all of them and then go with whichever you like the most. Now, let us look into the types of oats:

  • Old fashioned oats/ rolled oats:

The only difference between these oats and others is that these are slightly pressed (or rolled). This makes them slightly more processed. They need more time to cook than the quick oats as they are thicker than the quick oats.

  • Quick oats:

These are the finest of all the oats category as they are the most processed ones. So, you can use them when you are highly short of time. However, I don’t recommend them since they lack nutrients as they are highly processed.

  • Steel-cut oats:

These oats are the best among all the types of oats since they are unprocessed and unrolled. This allows them to retain all the nutrients. However, the only limitation that the steel cut oats possess is that they need at least 20 minutes to cook, and this can be a major disadvantage for those who don’t have time in the morning.

How to make an oats recipe with milk?

Follow these simple steps to cook yourself oatmeal:

  • Ingredients:
  • Half cup old fashioned oats (or rolled oats)
  • Half cup water

  • Stovetop method:
  • In a small pan, mix water and milk.
  • Put the pan on the stove and allow it to heat until the milk-water mixture starts to boil.

  • Next, put the bowl in the microwave and heat it for 2 minutes.
