We learned how to quickly and easily prepare the most healthy and nutritious breakfast - oatmeal. It is this porridge that is recognized by nutritionists as the best start to the day - it is good to have breakfast both before training and just for good brain activity and energy throughout the day.
Somehow it so happened that for some reason many of us do not like the taste of oatmeal. Jamie Oliver will teach you how to cook porridge so that it turns out to be soft creamy texture (without adding cream and butter, which reduces its calorie content) and taste good.

Choose the Right Oatmeal. Those that are designed for long cooking are ideal - they are denser and as a result their taste will be more intense. The best oatmeal is organic and reasonably firm. It is less processed than cereal, which is simply poured with hot water, and is therefore considered healthier. In addition, porridge of the correct texture will come out of dense flakes.
It's important to keep the proportions. One cup of oatmeal should yield four. Therefore, for the proper preparation of porridge, it is necessary to pour cereal in a ratio of 1: 3. That is, for a cup of cereal - 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 15 minutes. After 5 minutes, the flakes will already become softer and you can taste the consistency to your taste. However, it would be better to boil the porridge for 12-15 minutes.
Don't forget the salt. One very important nuance that is often forgotten when cooking oatmeal is the addition of salt. Even if you want to cook sweet porridge with fruit or any other topping, salt is a must. It reveals all facets of the taste of the dish and emphasizes its sweetness and tenderness. Feel free to pour a pinch when the porridge begins to boil and mix well.
The final touch - stirring. Oatmeal loves to be disturbed. In Scotland, there is even a special spoon for this, but any one will do. Do not stop stirring the porridge all the time until it thickens.
When choosing a topping for porridge, let your imagination fly. You can add everything that comes to hand: fruits, berries, sweets, peanut butter, seeds, nuts or superfoods. Go with your own taste or borrow a few ideas from Jamie.
Really delicious, healthy and easy to make Jules' homemade cookies. They contain oatmeal, which is used to make oatmeal that is high in fiber, carbohydrates, which means that they will keep you in good shape and give you strength. Feel free to use any other dried fruit of your choice - such as prunes, apricots, cherries and blueberries, etc. Invite your children to participate, they will definitely like it. Make the dough and freeze it in the fridge, then use it whenever you feel like baking these Dried Fruit Oatmeal Cookies
1 Preheat oven to 180ºC/gas 5 and prepare 2 large baking sheets. Line them with baking paper.
2 Put together flour, spices (cinnamon, ginger, or other spices of your choice), soda, oatmeal, dried fruit (any, finely chopped) and seeds in a large bowl and mix well.
3 In another large bowl, place the softened butter at room temperature, both sugars and the egg, then beat with a wooden spoon to combine.
4 Mix together the ingredients of both bowls with your hands - you should get a kind of dough from a sticky mixture. (At this point, you can save the cookies for later by rolling the dough into a sausage shape and wrapping it in baking paper. Store in the refrigerator. Then, cut the dough into 1 cm thick cookie-shaped pieces. See pictures at the end of the text. )
5 Wet your hands so you can roll the dough into walnut-sized balls - you should make about 24 servings in total. After that, place them on baking sheets lined with baking paper, press down the dough a little with the palm of your hand.

An exceptional dish for lovers of sweets and connoisseurs of proper nutrition - chocolate oatmeal with banana and cocoa from English chef Jamie Oliver! It's not often that you find a recipe where every ingredient brings not only taste, but also benefits: oatmeal with a banana is in danger of becoming your favorite breakfast for a long time!
For sweet porridge, buy oatmeal that is not instant, take the one that needs to be boiled for 10-15 minutes. This variety (rather a processing method) is more useful, and the porridge will turn out to be much tastier. Optionally, dilute oatmeal with nuts, honey, dried fruits, chocolate chips, berries, and so on. It is best to add additional ingredients after the final preparation of the dish, as fruits, berries or other components can add excessive sweetness and spoil the taste of the "shokowsyanka".
What do you need:
- 0.5 st. oatmeal
- 0.5 st. (possible, poppy) or regular milk
- 0.5 st. water
- 1 ripe banana
- nuts to taste
- 1 st. l. cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or to taste
Cooking diet oatmeal with banana and cocoa
In a small saucepan, combine water and milk, let the water boil, and then add the oatmeal. Cook according to the instructions on the package, or as you would normally cook sweet porridge.
Meanwhile, mash half a banana along with the cocoa powder and vanilla extract. For 1-2 min. until the oatmeal is ready, when it boils and thickens, add the banana with cocoa and mix thoroughly. The porridge should be a rich chocolate color.
A mixture of cocoa and banana does not have to be boiled, you can mix all the ingredients by setting aside the finished porridge from the stove. So there will be more benefits from fresh fruit. But the porridge will be less sweet.
It remains only to decorate chocolate porridge with banana slices, nuts, topping or jam to taste.
Bon appetit!
I would like to apologize to my Russian friends for the fact that we already have this...
but probably not worth it, because only when we have 37, only then will it become clear which of us is more fortunate ...
And yesterday, thanks to the fact that in the community gotovim_vplace oatmeal week was announced, we still had it on the table. In three types. Oatmeal itself, soda bread with oatmeal, and oatmeal-coated fish. The community will not be interested in the first two recipes, but I will still give them here.
Where do you think I went in search of oatmeal recipes? Well, of course, to Jamie our Oliver.
And I found four options for oatmeal porridge. Looked at one. This one is with chocolate and orange marmalade.
It's simple - cook porridge in milk with salt and add pieces of dark chocolate without sugar to the finished one and mix until it dissolves.
Serve with a couple of tablespoons of orange marmalade.
For some reason, adults liked this dish more than children.
2 cups flour
1 cup oatmeal (rolled oats)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp (55g) cold sl. butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup small raisins
1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1 1/4 cups kefir (buttermilk)
Preheat oven to 180°C /350°F.
Lubricate the baking sheet with vegetable oil.
In a large bowl, whisk dry ingredients (from flour to salt). Add cold pieces of butter and chop with a knife into small crumbs the size of peas (or rub the butter with flour with your fingers).
Add raisins, nuts and mix. Add kefir to flour, mix with a fork (the dough will be slightly sticky).
Put the dough on a floured table, knead a little until the dry flour disappears and form a round loaf 15 cm in diameter; put the loaf on a baking sheet.
Using a strainer, sprinkle the bread with flour (1 tsp). Make shallow cuts on the bread with a knife (2 cm deep, 10 cm long) in the shape of a cross.
Bake 50-60 minutes, or until done. (The crust of the bread should be dry and firm, but will soften as it cools.)
Cool down the bread
Well, the last recipe for today. In general, the hand does not rise to write this great word - "recipe" :), but still ...
Oatmeal Breaded Trout by Jamie Oliver
Pour the trout fillet on the skin with lemon juice, salt and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
Brush with Dijon mustard and sprinkle with instant oatmeal.
Bake at 170 degrees for about 30 minutes
(the cereal in Oliver's book turned bronze, mine didn't want to blush for anything, despite my manipulations with the temperature and even the grill)
Yes, that day was not only oatmeal :)
We were supposed to play football with the French Lyceum. They searched for it for an hour, despite the rain, and when they found it, it turned out that the team of the host party appeared in the amount of three people.
Spaniards are generally subject to optionality, I thought it was an acquired property, but it seems to be innate.
The rain had just stopped and we had to play with ourselves. At the gate - teachers :)
This is a son in flight :)
while the boys were busy playing, I enjoyed the beauty and fragrance of the blossoming trees. It's already started, yes...
Jamie Oliver's Home Cooking Skills is a great series of shows and a collection of step-by-step recipes that will improve your home cooking skills. The preparation of such simple dishes as scrambled eggs or morning toast with jam is described here step by step. We chose three recipes from Jamie - with blackberries and caramelized apples, banana, almonds and cinnamon and classic milk porridge.
Once you have prepared such a basic oatmeal as you like, you will certainly remember the process and sequence. After fixing the result several times, you can move on to variations - add honey, maple syrup and other sweeteners to the recipe. And a little later - to experiment with fillings - seeds, nuts, fruits, berries and dried fruits.
for basic milk porridge:
200 g oatmeal
750 ml milk
salt
for the blackberry and apple filling:
2 apples
small piece of butter
1 tbsp liquid honey
1 tsp oatmeal
2 handfuls fresh or frozen blackberries
for the cinnamon banana filling:
2 ripe bananas
2 tbsp almond flakes or coconut flakes
½ tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp poppy seeds
2-4 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
Milk oatmeal
Step 1
Mix oatmeal and milk (you can replace it with water) in a saucepan, add a little salt and put on medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 5-6 minutes until the porridge becomes a “creamy” consistency.
Step 2
If you like a thinner porridge, just add a little more milk or water. Serve hot.
Oatmeal with blackberries and apples
Step 1
Cut the apples in half, remove the core and cut into cubes.
Step 2
Fry the apples in a heated frying pan with butter. Pour in the honey, add the cereal and cook until the apples are caramelized, up to 10 minutes.
Step 3
Add the berries to the prepared milk oatmeal and mix. Serve with caramelized apples on top.
