Oatmeal is very useful for breakfast. It well cleanses the intestines from toxins and toxins. Whole grain is used for adults, and porridge is cooked longer in time than for children. Oatmeal for adults will need to be chewed. I will bring to your attention the main recipe for making oatmeal.
First you need to carefully sort through the cereals, remove the dirt and husks. Take half a glass of cereal, wash it well in cold water until the water is completely clean. Pour three glasses of cold water into a pot and boil. Then salt a little boiling water and add oatmeal to the pan. Cook, periodically stirring an hour and a half over a very low heat with a tightly closed lid, until the porridge thickens. Add butter, honey or sugar to the plate. You can add unboiled cream, so as not to spoil their taste.
But oatmeal for children is prepared differently. For baby food, crushed cereal or oatmeal is used. Prepare porridge in milk, diluted in half with water. To do this, take 1.5 cups of water and 1.5 cups of milk, boil, add salt, honey, syrup, only then add 1 cup of oatmeal. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thick, about ten minutes. Then the porridge is turned off, allowed to stand for about ten minutes and laid out in portions. Butter, jam, condensed milk can be added already in a plate.
For children, you can cook oatmeal with apples, bananas. This recipe for making oatmeal is very simple. On a glass of oatmeal, take three glasses of milk and cook porridge for ten minutes. Then grate the apple or mash the banana with a fork, add cream and honey to it, mix well. Put the resulting mashed potatoes on top of the porridge. This will give a fresh taste and aroma to fresh oatmeal.
In winter, you can cook oatmeal with dried fruits. Soak and boil dried apricots, raisins and apples in water until tender. Finely chop into pieces, and boil oatmeal in the broth, adding honey or sugar at the end of the cooking. If cinnamon or dry grated zest of lemon and orange is used for such porridge, then you can diversify the taste of simple oatmeal. Having shown culinary imagination, you can get a new recipe for making oatmeal that children will like.
For very young children in the preparation of oatmeal, ground grits are used on a coffee grinder. When cooking, take two teaspoons of oat flour in a glass of milk and boil for five to seven minutes with constant stirring. I constantly used this recipe for making oatmeal at home when I cooked for my children. I myself have never used purchased packaged cereals for baby food. Perhaps they are good, useful, I do not argue. But for the first lures, it is more convenient and better to use familiar and proven food in your family.
Young children have sensitive mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines, and they poorly absorb coarse uncrushed oatmeal. Therefore, in baby food they use either oatmeal or oat flakes.
I’ll also tell you how to cook oatmeal with beer. I think this may be of interest to men. Pour three glasses of beer into a saucepan, pour one glass of oatmeal and boil over low heat until the beer has completely evaporated. Then rub the resulting porridge through a sieve, add two glasses of milk and cook for another five minutes. It will turn out very high-calorie and tasty porridge for men. This rather hearty dish can be consumed on its own or as a side dish for fish or meat.
Oatmeal can be brewed simply in a thermos in the evening, and eat in the morning for breakfast. This is especially true for young girls who want to have a good complexion and shiny hair. Such porridge perfectly cleanses the intestines, improves its work, which means to improve skin color and hair strength.
