Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make oatmeal in the microwave with milk? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. It should be taken into account that the type of oatmeal affects the cooking time of the porridge. It is enough to cook instant oatmeal for 1-2 minutes, depending on the volume of ingredients, but since it is already thermally prepared for cooking porridge, it contains few useful substances. Hercules takes the longest to cook, but is considered the healthiest product.

Pour oatmeal into a fireproof form, it is advisable to rinse the cereal, even if it is instant oatmeal, dust and flour will still be noticeable in the cereal when washed, and it is better to remove them. Add sugar and salt to taste. If desired, you can add washed and finely chopped dried fruits and nuts.

Step 3
Pour milk over oatmeal. If desired, if milk with a high percentage of fat content is rustic, it can be diluted with clean filtered water. But, of course, porridge prepared with only full-fat milk will turn out much tastier and healthier. Milk must be added to the cereal in a ratio of 1 to 2. But if cereals such as Hercules or Extra-1 are used during cooking, then, accordingly, the cooking time will be longer than instant oatmeal.
