How to make Stovetop Oatmeal (Porridge!)
Here are a couple tips for cooking perfect stovetop oatmeal:
- Cook your oats in water, not milk. I use a 2:1 ratio of water to oats.
- Use rolled oats rather than quick or instant oats.
- Bring the water to a boil first, then reduce to a simmer before adding the oats. This prevents the oats from absorbing too much water and getting mushy.
- Cook and stir for 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let rest of 5-10 minutes to thicken up.

O…..M……Geeee….is all I have to say…why did this taste so amazing and filling?!! 🙂 My breastfed newborn is also such a happy camper!! Thank you for this awesome recipe
Haha you’re welcome! Thanks for trying it.
This is such a great oatmeal recipe!! Absolutely love it!!
Yay! That’s awesome. So glad you liked it..and reminded me I need to make this soon!
I just love the flavors here. Breakfast often ends up using the same flavors time and time again, which can get pretty boring. Something new is always appealing and this recipe looks great visually too.
I just made this today minus the ginger. I never liked ginger, smells like some kind of detergent. And I totally agree, blueberries are the original superfood. Doesn’t hurt that they’re delicious ????
Yes! Bluebs are the best! Haha, I can’t see ginger smelling like detergent, I love it, but I guess it’s similar to some people thinking cilantro tastes like soap! Thanks for the comment. 🙂
Thanks for this idea! Cooking the frozen fruit into the oatmeal isn’t something I’ve thought to do. My oatmeal game is getting pretty stale lately!
